<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have spoken with Program Officers at NSF in the Division of Biotic Infrastructure to provide them with a general, albeit incomplete, overview of what we know or do not know about damage to infrastructure (buildings, towers, instruments)
at EVFS and environs, and to let them know that communication is not close to fully restored with collaborators on the island.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In addition, I learned that there is talk of coordinated activities by FEMA and NSF to help scientists and students temporarily relocate to mainland institutions and facilities if that will allow them to make progress with their research-related
activities. I will hopefully learn more on Monday about this, and report back thereafter.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">With respect to hurricane induced damage, the advice from NSF was to make two provisional lists: (1) structural damage to facilities and (2) loss of, or damage to, instruments and equipment. So, it looks like you are already making good
progress in this regard.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I hope that this information is useful. <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I heard from Todd via Rita. He made it to El Verde, but unfortunately the satellite phone is sporadically effective, so he and Jess are still out of regular touch. They are clearing trails at EVFS; they made it out to the Prieta today.
Tomorrow they will work on the trail to CTE 3 (if I interpreted the message correctly). Rita promised to keep me posted, and I will pass on whatever I hear.<br>
