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:C30504C5-E24B-4268-979D-E99A227E6DE5Protecting roads and water infrastructure from erosion 2023-09-14T00:00:00Z2024-03-28T20:37:36ZLEO Networkhttps://leonetwork-staging.azurewebsites.netask.leonetwork@gmail.com<div><h3>Huslia, Alaska, United States</h3><p>September 14, 2023</p><p>River erosion is impacting the road and requiring the replacement of health infrastructure.</p><img src='https://leonetwork-staging.azurewebsites.net/en/attachments/thumbnail/5F738F06-45F7-4818-B974-D6B0322764D4'/><p><a href='https://leonetwork-staging.azurewebsites.net/posts/show/C30504C5-E24B-4268-979D-E99A227E6DE5'>Read more...</a></p></div>65.700686 -156.395345uuid:9F33EDE2-FB89-48D1-A8CE-D237FACA292AA strong storm damaged the embankment in Pevek and left Rytkuchi without light2022-10-07T00:00:00Z2024-03-28T20:37:36ZLEO Networkhttps://leonetwork-staging.azurewebsites.netask.leonetwork@gmail.com<div><h3>Pevek, Chukotskiy Avtonomnyy Okrug, Russia</h3><p>October 7, 2022</p><p>Part of the village of Rytkuchi remained without electricity for several hours.
