The following are excerpts of a powerpoint presentation (on or about Sept. 10-12), apparently from U.S. military engineers. [This is a link to the presentation with photos: http://www.metalake.net/helpnicaragua/HurricaneFelixUS.ppt.]
(Related: see postings about US Southern Command support).
Hurricane Felix Engineer Damage Assessment
Prepared by JTFB J37
CPT Jon-Paul Lavandeira , Tsgt Heather Prater
Overall Engineer Damage Assessment
•Upwards of 85%+ of structures destroyed or heavily damaged (i.e. entire communities will need temporary shelter)
•Flooding still apparent in many low lying areas (i.e. ground transport of HA supplies not an option)
•Roads/trails extensively damaged
•No apparent electricity/phone present
Engineer Recommendations
•Ship HA supplies via HELO or maritime
•Temporary shelters need to be erected for displaced
•Basic services will need to be re-established once population is resettled
Damage Assessment for Tuapi
•80%+ structures destroyed (roofs blown off, knocked down, etc)
•Many downed trees
•Flooding receded, dirt roads appeared usable
•No visible electrical or phone lines
Damage Assessment for Krukira
•Roofs of all structures blown off
•Minimal to moderate flooding damage apparent
•Flooding receded, dirt roads appeared usable
•No visible electrical or phone lines
Damage Assessment for Kaska
•90% of all structures heavily damaged (i.e. unsalvageable)
•Heavy flooding damage apparent
•Flooding still present, dirt roads unusable
•No visible electrical or phone lines
Damage Assessment for Bahurina
•80%+ of structures damaged
•Moderate flooding damage apparent
•Flooding receded in areas, some dirt roads appeared usable
•No visible electrical or phone lines
Damage Assessment for Li Daku
•80%+ of structures heavily damaged particularly along lagoon shore
•Minimal to moderate flooding damage apparent
•Flooding receded, dirt roads appeared usable in most sections
•No visible electrical or phone lines
Damage Assessment for Nina Yari
•90%+ of all structures heavily damaged
•Extensive flooding damage apparent
•Some dirt roads appeared usable
