When the rain was so heavy that evening the drain near his apartment failed and water broke the sliding door window and entered the apartment next to him in#A-20. #A-20 was a vacant apartment. The force and amount of water was so strong that it entered John's apartment through and under the walls and from the bathroom tub and toilet. At one point John stated that the water was almost up to his knees coming out of the bathroom. For several hours John walked in ankle deep water throughout his apartment that evening. John is a person with a developmental disability and Washington Vocational Services provides employment support services through Washington State Developmental Disabilities. John called me as soon as the flood happened and i instructed him to get as many of his belongings off the floor as possible. This was at 7:30 PM. The next day John went to work but his boss sent him back home to try to get help with the mess. My co-workers and I assessed the apartment began trying to get help for John. We called Red Cross who came out, assessed the situation and gave John a 3 night voucher for a Hotel. My Executive Director Bill Munson assisted John to check into the Hotel later that day. On Friday my Director and i met with John at his apartment and spoke with the apartment landlord and maintenance person. The manager had no assistance to provide John for temporary housing and could not tell us how long until the carpet would be dry and cleaned.
