Tom Wolforth’s prime mission was to appropriately handle the remains and make sure they could be reburied. He has been working closely with the tribe and the municipality to address their concerns. One concern, Martin said, was that these exposed remains could pose a risk of disease, especially if the dead had been buried during the time of the 1918 flu pandemic. But Wolforth assured them that if properly handled this shouldn’t be a problem.</p><img src='https://leonetwork-staging.azurewebsites.net/en/attachments/thumbnail/9CBD4FBB-1341-4434-B5EC-F4E0B5FADD6E'/><p><a href='https://leonetwork-staging.azurewebsites.net/posts/show/44D1BC48-3CA4-4F13-A66E-B1CD04AA220E'>Read more...</a></p></div>63.47806 -162.03917uuid:DD2823F6-C902-4E3B-B8D6-DEE0408E0EC9Images of Siglufjörður house damage emerge2023-09-19T00:00:00Z2024-03-29T11:57:13ZLEO Networkhttps://leonetwork-staging.azurewebsites.netask.leonetwork@gmail.com<div><h3>Siglufjörður, Northeast, Iceland</h3><p>September 19, 2023</p><p>There is considerable damage to a house on Aðalgatu in Siglufjörður after the roof came off in a storm last night.
