00:00.140 --> 00:02.140
the U . S . Army Corps of Engineers

00:02.140 --> 00:04.084
continues to assist the victims of

00:04.084 --> 00:05.973
hurricanes Laura and Delta in the

00:05.973 --> 00:07.862
southwestern Louisiana area . The

00:07.862 --> 00:10.029
lion's share of the deployed personnel

00:10.029 --> 00:11.973
have been staying in FEMA trailers

00:11.973 --> 00:13.918
situated on the McNeese University

00:13.918 --> 00:17.660
campus in Lake Charles . More than 370

00:17.660 --> 00:19.660
corps personnel volunteered for the

00:19.660 --> 00:21.771
mission , and nearly a third of those

00:21.771 --> 00:23.827
volunteers are still on the ground .

00:23.827 --> 00:26.049
Volunteers air taking extra precautions

00:26.049 --> 00:28.271
to avoid exposure to Cove in 19 as much

00:28.271 --> 00:30.493
of their work involves interacting with

00:30.493 --> 00:32.716
the public . While some of the missions

00:32.716 --> 00:34.882
are starting to wind down , others are

00:34.882 --> 00:37.160
expected to last through late November .

00:37.160 --> 00:39.382
I'd like to thank the hundreds of corps

00:39.382 --> 00:41.604
of engineer employees who stepped up to

00:41.604 --> 00:43.716
volunteer in support of the people in

00:43.716 --> 00:45.882
southwest Louisiana through hurricanes

00:45.882 --> 00:47.993
Laura and Delta , leaving your family

00:47.993 --> 00:49.882
and your jobs behind and making a

00:49.882 --> 00:49.810
difference for people who are suffering .

00:49.820 --> 00:53.410
Thanks , yeah ,
