Pittsburgh District Emergency Power
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Pittsburgh District has responded to restore power and provide generators to communities in Guam, a U.S. territory hit by Typhoon Mawar with the force of a damaging Category 4 hurricane. The Pittsburgh District is the only U.S. Army Corps of Engineers district to oversee all temporary emergency power missions supporting FEMA. The emergency team serves communities in the aftermath of a natural disaster. They focus specifically on providing generators to critical public facilities such as hospitals, emergency rooms, shelters, and emergency response centers.
