An American flag is reflected in a sand- and debris-filled alley in Breezy Point, N.Y., Nov. 9, where service members operating under the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers through a FEMA mission assignment cleared debris, conducted assessments, and pumped water from critical facilities and public housing areas in devastated beachfront communities. The joint task force used more than 70 pumps in 15 public housing complexes and one waste water treatment plant. In Breezy Point, Queens, they pumped an average of 750,000 to 1 million gallons of water per day.
