Door rot under threshold of patio door

In process of cleaning out water and moisture from crawl space from recent rain storm here in NE and noticed a good amount of wood mold/rot in the area below my patio door when removed insulation. The damage extends the entire width of my door. Now, this door was replaced several months ago. I will say I noticed some wood rot in the wood under the threshold (not to the extent I am seeing now and shown in pictures below however). I was not here when the door was replaced and when job was done, all new pvc trim was added, including under the door threshold, so all looked great and thought problem was taken care of. So fast forward to today, I took off the pvc trim to investigate and see the original rotten wood under door and pvc trim was just attached to it. This wood rot goes through this piece of wood and onto the sheathing. I do see some sort of vapor barrier going down in between the sheathing and the rotten wood piece it seems. So what are my options to address as I need to obviously fix before I can reinsulate down in the crawl space.
