County Neosho, Kan. - JR Williamson spent his Thursday tearing down walls and removing the isolation.
JR Williamson, an entrepreneur Chanute: "We have empty the office and install all the new insulation and cladding for office here"
His company Ridin 'Low Trucking in Chanute was flooded by the Neosho River.
Now you have to remove the dirt and debris around the property ... and break off many walls to avoid mold.
Williamson: "We had five guys here just cleaning the place, you can not get all the mud here and everything stays, everything on the floor and on the walls and the truck was pretty nasty."
The cleansing of many people in the four states must now take place when the rivers withdraw.
However, experts say that flooding can transmit infections, diseases and chemicals.
Therefore, it is important to use the right equipment when cleaning.
Teresa Starr, Head of Health Neosho County: "You know, masks, gloves, make sure that you do not have open wounds, you should wash your clothes separately from normal clothes, but not least, remember that this is not a pool, it is a fountain. "
Health experts attach great importance to receiving the tetanus if they have not had it for five or ten years before starting work in the floodwaters.
The Neosho County Health Department provides the affected residents with something for free.
Paula Robert, Nurse: "We have the lifeguards to vaccinate and clean up staff after flooding, but we are more than happy to help the wider public learn from this and tetanus."
Think ahead so people like Williamson can focus on the future.
Wwilliamson: "Anything you can do is recreate, put it back and forth, so that's what we do"
