    Portland District supports disaster relief efforts

    About 125 Portland District team members have volunteered to deploy in support of disaster relief efforts since August 2017. Most have gone to Texas, Florida, Puerto Rico or the U.S. Virgin Islands to assist their fellow citizens in the aftermath of hurricanes Maria and Irma. And some of them have deployed twice or extended their deployments because of their dedication to the mission.
