Jarvis Property Restoration of Harrison Township, Michigan is a national disaster response company and has been actively working in the Boston Massachusetts area for the past two weeks following the flooding damages caused in early March from torrential rain storms. Jarvis deployed a team of first responders to Providence on Tuesday, March 30th to begin coordinating relief efforts for property owners who have been devastated by the recent storm. Jarvis presently has twelve work crews and several semi-trucks of equipment in the Providence area and has additional work crew’s en-route to assist with cleanup efforts.

Rhode Island was declared a state of emergency by Governor Donald L. Carcieri following an estimated ten inches of rain that has fallen over the last three days. The Governor has requested that residents stay off roads. The historic flooding has forced parts of I-95 to close, as well as numerous roads throughout the state. The governor has closed all government offices and has urged for businesses and municipalities to also close to help ensure public safety.
