Testimonials

“This disaster changed our community. Some of our children now panic every time it rains, worried another flood is coming. That’s how deeply this storm affected our lives. SDR’s work has been vital — from clearing debris to preventing even greater damage, like during a recent snow event where leaning trees had already been removed, saving us from widespread power outages.”

“The partnership with SDR has been a huge part of cleaning up this county and getting us back to normal. Their crews work with us daily, from managing temporary debris sites to finding new ones when needed. They’ve been incredible partners in our recovery.”

“Every community in our county was affected by debris. Some bridges and streams were completely blocked, creating massive obstacles. SDR’s help in removing that debris has been critical. If we had waited for other partners, we would be far behind where we are today.”

“Working with SDR has been a relief. This was the first disaster I’ve ever managed at this scale, and I needed guidance. The SDR team has been there every step of the way in the field, making sure we could keep recovery efforts moving.”

“I don’t think any of us knew how bad it would be. Nearly every area of the county was impacted — flooding, downed trees, power outages, and communications failures. It’s something we had never experienced before.”

“Close to 10,000 trees came down in a single day. That changes your perspective and how you think about recovery. SDR has been instrumental in helping us manage the aftermath and move forward.”
