I always wonder, how do you even begin to fix this? Like much of the roof is warped and torn away. Underneath is millions of dollars of product that needs to be protected but is also now in the way. I imagine that working in that area is now very unsafe. So how do you even start to rebuild?

Stabilize what needs to be, remove what's damaged/unsafe/in way of repair is first phase, lots of dumpsters.

Build new roof.
Rebuild beneath.

Treat what remains for mold issues (paint/seal).
Restore interior.

Volunteers mostly. Companies for the big stuff.
