Lost-and-found networks reunite items with survivors years after storms
Across the country, organizations are working to return lost objects to disaster survivors years after major storms.
Efforts continue for years
Clean-up crews meticulously separate sentimental items from general wreckage. This process can take several years to complete. In some cases, it is impossible to recover all pieces.
Recovery faces limits
Lost-and-found networks seek to reunite objects with those who lost them. The work involves identifying owners and verifying claims over time. Some items remain unclaimed after the search concludes.
