USCG Helps in Typhoon Soudelor Cleanup Efforts

Over the past week the United States Coast Guard has been working with local crane operators and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in Saipan to assist in cleanup following Typhoon Soudelor.

This is just one example of the inter-agency coordination it takes to aid in a disaster relief mission.

The headquarters for the Commonwealth Ports Authority of Saipan is the relief efforts operating center for the EPA and three divisions of the U.S. Coast Guard: the Marine Safety Detachment stationed in Saipan, Coast Guard Sector Guam and a Pacific Strike team from California.
