Cleanup is just beginning one week after
a 1000 year flood swept through Brevard County.
The water forcing some people out of their homes.
Others were trapped inside. Stephanie Buffamanti
is back out there live in one of the hardest hit areas tonight.
So Stephanie, what are the neighbors there doing to help each other?
Yeah you know it's terrible when things like this happen
but it is wonderful to see how the
community comes together to support one another.
We are in the Barefoot Bay neighborhood in Brevard
County and you can see this is what we've
been seeing as you drive down the road. This person
their fridge was destroyed by the floodwaters
and you could see all this carpet. Luckily the majority
of their house is okay but of course you hate
to see the streets lined with things like this and
on top of all of that.
The thing you don't want to have to think about
is where you're going to get your next
hot meal.
So there's an organization that has been helping people
in this neighborhood get just that.
World Central Kitchen has booths
on the ground in Brevard County.
Residents in the Barefoot Bay community like Cindy
are grateful for a hot meal.
My water was to my knees and my patio.
I have three kitty cats.
I lost one kitty cat for two days and for her to bring the food and
the water over means so much to me. You got this honey.
Thank you. Thank you. Brevard County flooded
with water after the 1,000 year rainfall event one week ago.
Cindy showed us just how high the
the water got at one point it came up
to let's say almost to the top of the tire.
But my car is good.
World Central Kitchen
is an international organization founded by chef Jose Andres.
They deliver food all over the world to help people in need.
Since Wednesday, World Central Kitchen has focused
their efforts in Florida,
delivering 6,000 meals to people in Brevard,
Indian River, and St. Lucie counties.
They say it's a team effort.
It really takes an army, so we partner with local restaurants
to help get the fresh food out to the residents,
and it's food that they already know and love.
We partner with local community members to help distribute the meals
because they know their neighbors
and they know who needs the help the most.
And we know there are a lot of people who are still struggling,
especially in Palm Bay.
So they're going to reevaluate where else community needs their help.
They're going to speak with different people in different neighborhoods
and see what they can do to continue to help people in need.
