The people of this community are being evacuated. Seniors are being evacuated. Chief Moonias describes the situation like this. He says, \u201cWhy is this not a public health emergency? Are we not important? Are we not human?\u201d</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6298179\" data-originallang=\"en\">When will the community get access to clean drinking water?</p>",
