Vacuum Cleaners Discussions

Has anyone heard of state government programs that allow for the lending of specialty vacuums for the clean-up of hazardous material?  I know the use of HEPA vacuums was encouraged for clean-up in around ground zero here in New York afte 9/11 but I have no recall of any being lent to private citizens.  Anyway, upstate New York folks are pretty neighborly and I guess that's reflected in government too.  See the following link . . .
