Mississippi River Flood Waters Sweep South

Steel Standing

May 14th, 2011-Record flood levels drove residents from their homes and farms in Illinois, Missouri, Kentucky, Tennessee and Mississippi.   As the flood waters sweep south, US authorities prepare to open the Morganza Spillway to save Louisiana’s major cities.  Baton Rouge and New Orleans will be devastated if the spillway is not opened, but this plan will sacrifice many of the rural towns and farmland in Louisiana and Mississippi.

As the affected communities band together and the waters recede, many residents will return to salvage what is left and rebuild.  For those residents with Allied Steel buildings or other top tier steel structures, the rebuilding may come easier.  While conventional buildings may be swept away, steel buildings are anchored into their concrete foundations.  Allied Steel Buildings use red iron steel to protect against corrosion and any flood damaged panels can quickly be replaced.

Allied Steel Buildings is offering immediate assistance to those affected by this devastating natural disaster.  Allied Steel can assist customers with safety precautions and guidelines for areas that are subject to floods, hurricanes, earthquakes and wildfires.
