The sleeves and jackets are shot, but the LPs will be good after a cleaning. I did this after Katrina to about 3000 45rpm singles from my dads place.
Use a solution of very light Palmolive and water. You need the soap to cut through the chemicals and grease in the funk water. Although you wouldn't use dish soap normally on records, it is safe to say that the average record isn't submerged under water full of caustic chemicals either!
We actually created a sort of assembly line in my garage...my dad would wash, hand off, and I would dry, and place in a new paper sleeve which I ordered from musicDirect.
If you need help, let me know. I will help you. I am about an hour east of BR. I can even pick them up from you in BR tomorrow and begin the cleaning process over the weekend. Let me know.
New sleeves for 600 LPs will run about $200--I wIll order them and cover that cost for you if you want. I can probably get them delivered to me in a day--I don't know how long FedEx is taking in your area right now.
Again, let me know and I will get them ordered overnight for you.
If you want, contact me and I will give you my contact (mobile #) info.

I also had a pretty ingenious way to let them dry...
I'll post a pic of how I did that in a little while...
