Mertarvik Evacuation Center

CCHRC was retained by the Newtok Traditional Council and the Newtok Planning Group to prepare a design for the Mertarvik Evacuation Center. The evacuation center will serve the village in several ways as they plan to relocate due to coastal erosion:  first as an evacuation center in case of emergence, second as a staging facility during the relocation, and third as a community center.
