With the National Park Service now tasked with bringing the park system quickly back to normalcy, the economic impacts to the communities that rely on them are not soon going to be forgotten.

Leaking water mains, power outages, a collapsed 40-foot section of the moat wall surrounding historic Fort Jefferson at Dry Tortugas National Park, and a debris-filled waterfront at Cumberland Island National Seashore were just some of the problems National Park Service crews were dealing with Saturday as they worked to clean up the aftermath of Hurricane Irma.

A fund has been set up to help National Park Service employees in the Caribbean and Florida who sustained losses from Hurricane Irma, as well as those impacted by Hurricane Harvey in Texas and Louisiana.
