GRANT SCHOOL DISTRICT

Flood waters caused significant water damage to Grant Union High School, transportation and district offices in Oregon.

Grant School District No. 3 in Eastern Oregon is responsible for the education of approximately 800 students in four schools, and encompasses about 1,277 square miles including the towns of John Day, Canyon City, Mt. Vernon, and Seneca.

The school district is seated in lush valleys of the surrounding forest terrain and wilderness. Just before the summer break, melting mountain snow packs and heavy rains combined to overflow the banks of John Day River and nearby Canyon Creek.

Flood waters caused significant water damage to both Grant Union High School, Transportation and District offices.

“It was a great relief to be able to deal with such a professional and well-equipped company that had the capacity to deal with the severity of our flood. I give my highest recommendation to BELFOR for an organization that has sustained any level of disaster.”
