| Abstract: |
| The flooding of the Red River in 1997 forced the evacuation of the Roseau River Anishinabe First Nation Reserve from April 23, 1997 to May 22, 1997. Below grade basement seepage along with some sewage back-up occurred despite the dike surrounding most of the 204 homes. Sump pumps could not be used because the electricity was shut off for safety reasons during the course of the evacuation. Of more than 114 flood damaged houses, at least 53 houses were identified as contaminated with unspecified molds, and 34 other homes contaminated with Stachybotrys chartarum, a mold that has caused health problems in other incidents. Despite the cleaning and renovation of some basements, mold was still detected in the basements. |
