Saving Property: Salvage Operations, Part 2
Description:
An article about the salvage operations. Salvage covers can be used in various ways--to cover contents and equipment, as catchalls or chutes, and to form blockades, to name a few. But unless they are properly deployed, salvage covers can lose some of their effectiveness. Covers should be opened from a folded or rolled configuration.
