While Sinlaku caused extensive damage on Saipan and Tinian, Bavi knocked out Rota’s power system.
The agency said a generator was also installed at Rota’s power plant to power heaters drying out storm-soaked engines, helping speed the restoration of the island’s electricity network.
“Restoring power is the critical first step in helping the people of Rota rebuild their lives after these devastating storms.”
Mission leader Major Blake Ritchey said restoring electricity to healthcare facilities was among the team’s highest priorities.
USACE said it will continue installing temporary generators while permanent repairs to Rota’s power system are completed.
