CHAPTERII VOL. IL BOOK 4 Elmer was not excessive; tents were damaged, a rock crusher was capsized, roof ventilators were blown away, and debris was washed ashore. However, there was considerable damage on Site Fred where seas had washed across the island from the motor pool to the east end. All roads on the south side were obliterated, and most of the tents were damaged or destroyed. Bldgs. 26, 27 and 500 were partially collapsed, the freight pier was badly damaged, and the weather station and salt water pumping station had been made inopera- tive. The mess hall and other buildings on the ocean side had been seriously damaged by waves and debris. In order to proceed immediately with emergency repairs, Repair Maintenance Work Orders, numbers 7383, 7384, 7385 and 7386 were issued. The Maintenance Work Orders were assigned these numbers primarily for accounting purposes to cover the maintenance work required during the storm, and the work needed to put Sites Elmer and Fred back into normal operation condition. The first necessary step of the maintenance repair at both these sites was to inspect all buildings, structures, and the water and power facilities. Work was then immediately started to reactivate the damaged utilities, clean up the debris, and make all buildings and structures safe. Such maintenance work did not include any proposed major reconstruction or repair; the scope of any major undertaking was not at that time determined. Separate accounting of all labor and materials for the repair and reconstruction of damaged areas is being maintained and estimates of needed major repairs are in process. Eventual costs in time and materials chargeable to typhoon "Hester" will be submitted upon final determination. The results of this storm have confirmed the adequacy of the basic aluminum building design for this area.
