Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan
ACS 2019-2023 data describes 461 residents in the selected ZIP codes. It does not measure current floodwater at any address. The typical home in the ZIP codes around Kennebec was built in the 1960s. Stored furnishings in a 1970s basement can hide the true waterline. The crew checks behind accessible contents.
An icy stairwell makes basement access hazardous. Workers check footing before carrying pumps down.
