Mitigation : One corner at a time (ID: 67346)

Galena, Alaska, July 23, 2013 -- After a recent flood innundated John Stam's home, he is elevating the structure four feet above the previous base level in an attempt to mitigate further repetive losses. The homeowner is using air pressured jacks to lift the home at each corner by himself while his FEMA application is pending. Adam DuBrowa/ FEMA
