Mother-Daughter Team Serves Together in Saipan Recovery Mission

Amid the storm-ravaged streets of Saipan, where rooftops still bear the scars of Super Typhoon Sinlaku, two women move with purpose and pride. Christina Etzrodt, and her daughter, Clara Baber, aren’t just colleagues - they’re a mother-daughter team from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Omaha District. United by service, they stand side by side to help families rebuild their homes and their lives. For them, this deployment is more than a mission; it’s a shared journey that strengthens both their bond to their family and their commitment to the community.

The Consolidated Debris Removal Program in Lahaina, Maui for the cleanup from the Hawaii Wildfires will soon move in to Phase 2 of the mission which will involve the removal of fire-related debris such as ash, hazardous trees, and concrete foundations. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has been conducting Phase 2 debris removal in Kula since Nov. 7 and as of Dec. 23 has removed debris from 22 residential properties. To prepare Lahaina for Phase 2 operations, USACE invited prominent local officials to visit work sites in Kula to see work in progress and sites that are complete and in turn share this information with the Lahaina community.
