November, 2010 Volunteer Trip - Video Ongoing: Waveland was a town of nearly 8,000 residents before Hurricane Katrina devastated the area in August of 2005. Only 35 homes were habitable after the storm. Six months later, at the onset of Operation: Waveland, MS the town remained a tent city with only 40% of the population returned. Assistance with home rebuilding and long-term rehabilataion was the town's greatest need. Waveland was adopted as Saratoga Springs' domestic sister city.
