Soldiers from the 249th EN BN (Prime Power) assess

Soldiers from the 249th EN BN (Prime Power) assess damages to 18 buildings in the Red Hook Housing complex to determine their power requirements in preparations to installing generators at the Brooklyn complex. The complex has been without power and heat since Hurricane Sandy flooded the area. Residents in the complex had been without power since Hurricane Sandy devastated the northeast a week prior. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, other branch components and federal and state partners working through the Federal Emergency Management Agency, power is continuing to be restored in hard-hit areas throughout New York and New Jersey.
