unwanted waters from flooding; from shoring and shifting fuel oil to triage of
casualties and effective communication. An interesting and insightful afternoon
awaits inquiring minds.

operation come from appropriations from governmental entities at the local,
state or federal levels. Located at the junction of Highways 17/74/76/421 on
