Does anyone have any feed back on PB or PARR - I'm wondering how likely it is to get deployed and if its possible for a new inspector to get some experience this way and make some good money also. Any feed back would be appreciated Thanks

Search the posting archives. It has been discussed many, many times.

Comments range from good to "are you nuts?".

Our resident expert is Chad Fabry,

During Katrina he went down to N.O. for about three months.

Following Hurricane Ike that hit Southeast Texas I spent close to a month doing Insurance Adjusting work in Houston.

Was not too bad, but I'm not planning on doing such again.

Personal health reasons.

I did 4 months of verification inspections in New Orleans for the SBA following Katrina. About 400 inspections. They gave me the worse hit areas of the lower 9th Ward and upper St. Bernard Parish. The waters around the raised floor house in the photo rose too quickly for the house to take on water. It gained too much bouyancy and floated long enough to end up in the street. Sometimes several adjacent houses floated, making it hard to find out which one corresponded to the lot that you were inspecting. Some lots could be reached only on foot because of the floaters. One such house had a monolithic poured concrete foundation/floor. The whole slab floated out, intact. Quite an inspection experience. Compensation and per dem were excellent but didn't have much contact with family during that time.

Pardon the drift.

Pass your cursor over Forums at the menu bar above the page, choose search from the sub-menu and then click on "advanced search" (It's tiny white print in the top bar) and then search for posts in the fall of 2004 under user name Chad Fabry or just search the whole site for FEMA.
