Two Washington Conservation Corps crews are in Joplin, Mo., removing debris and cutting paths with chainsaws for search and rescue teams to reach demolished buildings.

The 10 crew members and two supervisors were dispatched to Joplin from St. Louis, arriving Monday morning shortly after a May 22 tornado ripped through the city. They had been in the state since May 2 assisting with tornado disaster relief efforts.
