The Corps' temporary emergency power team, working alongside FEMA in the aftermath of Hurricane Florence, sent Soldiers from the 249th Engineer Battalion (Prime Power), to work with local partners in Robeson County, North Carolina, to assess a downed generator at the Fairmont Wasterwater Treatment Facility. The facility is currently land-locked with the nearby Lumber River flooding, due to the storm, including the section of Highway 74 that provides access. Corps and county officials were airlifted onto the temporary island by our federal partners at US Customs and Border Protection.
