Tuesday, August 31, 2021

The roof is already being repaired, and the debris is being cleaned up, the tribe said. But the building is in need of a new air unit and large fans that can be used once power is restored.
The facility is now being used as a staging area for relief efforts in the coastal tribal communities.
