Ivan Flood Disaster Recovery

For thousands of Pittsburgh area residents, the flooding this past weekend is the worst in recent memory. Hundreds of area homes and businesses were literally destroyed, with thousands more devasted by rushing flood waters. Basements in areas which have never had flood difficulties even flooded in some instances, due to extremely high water tables caused by this year's above average rainfall.
