During the week of May 10, representatives from Coeus Technology – EJ King, Rick Suder, and David Parker – joined the flood relief and clean-up efforts in Nashville, TN. Upon his return, David Parker, the company’s COO, took time to share their experiences in an interview with Todd Rimer, the Director of Marketing & Communications for Community Networks, LLC.

TR: What were your impressions of the aftermath following the flooding?

DP: The areas hardest hit by the flooding were where we found the most resilient of Nashville’s residents. It was definitely hard to see all of the personal possessions that had been ruined by the flood.

TR: Where did you spend your volunteer time?

DP: The majority of our volunteering time was spent at The Donelson Fellowship Church, which is located in one of the areas hit hardest by the flooding. In addition to the physical labor we provided, our anti-microbial product, MonoFoil, was applied to several hallways, restrooms and an elevator in an effort to get the church back on its feet as quickly as possible.

TR: What do you see as being the biggest problems/hazards the city will have to endure in the ensuing months?

DP: The overall problem that the community of Nashville will face in the weeks and months to come is the deep contamination of historical buildings through newly constructed homes that were impacted by the flood. The magnitude of the flood of 2010 may impact the community’s building health for quite some time.

TR: What role can MonoFoil play in helping with the recovery efforts?

DP: MonoFoil is able to stop the proliferation of bacteria, fungi, algae and virus on treated articles.

TR: Did you speak with any local or state officials?

DP: We made contact with the office of the Mayor of Nashville upon our arrival.

TR: Do you have plans to return to Nashville any time soon?

DP: Coeus Technology stands ready to aid in pre-treating and post-treating articles potentially affected by any natural disaster at any time.

TR: What, if any, is your long-term plan and goal regarding Nashville?

DP: Coeus Technology’s long-term plan regarding the city of Nashville is to continue to offer support in any way possible in order to help its wonderful citizens get back to some sort of post-flood normalcy.
