Everyone who was trapped in the defunct Ark station has now been rescued. The volunteer team set out for Mount Weather this morning and should be back before this evening.
Thankfully there were no casualties, but several people are suffering side-effects from being without a proper air supply for so long. Oxygen deprivation is a condition we've been dealing with our entire lives, and our medical team is confident we'll be able to give them proper treatment once they arrive back here.
On behalf of Chancellor Griffin and the Council I'd like to thank you all for volunteering and offering your help. I know for some of you arriving here has been a huge adjustment to make, but cooperation and collaboration are going to be vital for us all in the coming months. How well the community responded to this crisis gives me hope that we'll be able to rise to the challenge.
