Hi!  My name is Trevor Glaum and I am one of the business managers of the Spartan Shield Online.  I am a senior at PV and I enjoy running Cross Country. Outside of school I play a variety of instruments.  I am an avid coffee consumer and I like to travel, usually south of Iowa.

Two local citizens work to support the sandbag barrier and keep additional water from entering businesses.

The City of Davenport loaded large trucks and front loaders with sand to put together sandbags

Rescue boats were active for hours after the flood as many people were stuck in upper floors of buildings and cars were no longer accessible on foot.

Volunteers packed thousands of sandbags and worked to fortify the temporary barrier built to contain the floodwater

Davenport Public Works installed temporary utility pumps to remove excess water from underground.

Sandbags packed by volunteers were moved by front loaders to the flood zone.

River Drive was flooded weeks before the HESCO barrier broke. After the flood, over 4 feet of water covered the road.

Store owners tried to protect their assets and valuables by accessing the business using canoes and rescue boats

Many flooded businesses had sump pumps running 24 hours a day to remove as much water as they could.

Barriers that were built immediately after the flood proved ineffective because more rain came the next 2 days. The flood waters rose, overtaking barriers built and flooding areas that were dry 12 hours earlier.

Piles of sand, bags, and shovels were provided for volunteers to pack sandbags.

After the HESCO barrier broke, remaining barriers received additional sandbags to ensure no more collapse.
