The Power point presentation showed photos of recent fire damage in western NE, and the restoration resources OGT has been bringing into the area. There is currently a fencing crew in the Hyannis area. He also shared a little about the water purification system that was provided to Jamaica and that is currently still being used in Parottee, Jamaica.
