description

Summary

Camuy, Puerto Rico, March 15, 2018 – A sand dune along the coast of northern Puerto Rico that has been compromised by beach erosion and human interaction. The wooden pallets have been deliberately placed in the damaged dunes to serve as sand accumulation barriers. The sticks are pieces of pallets (biomimicry matrices) to simulate the effect of plants and other natural objects in accumulating wind-blown sand. This mitigation technique is designed to accelerate the distribution and accumulation of sand in compromised areas of the beach in a manner that will uniformly recover and restore the protective dune "barriers" in Puerto Rico. University of Puerto Rico technical advisers periodically inspect beach erosion in Camuy, Puetro Rico. FEMA partners with federal agencies, the state, local communities, counties, municipalities, volunteer organizations active in disaster (VOAD) and tribal entities to provide assistance to disaster survivors and local communities.

The objects in this collection are from The U.S. National Archives and Defense Visual Information Distribution Service. The U.S. National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) was established in 1934 by President Franklin Roosevelt. NARA keeps those Federal records that are judged to have continuing value—about 2 to 5 percent of those generated in any given year. There are approximately 10 billion pages of textual records; 12 million maps, charts, and architectural and engineering drawings; 25 million still photographs and graphics; 24 million aerial photographs; 300,000 reels of motion picture film; 400,000 video and sound recordings; and 133 terabytes of electronic data. The Defense Visual Information Distribution Service provides a connection between world media and the American military personnel serving at home and abroad. All of these materials are preserved because they are important to the workings of Government, have long-term research worth, or provide information of value to citizens.
