In observance of the first anniversary of the devastation caused by Tropical Storm Erika on 27 August 2015, the Dominica Red Cross has released an overview of recovery activities carried out in the aftermath of this event.
To the many families who lost loved ones and those directly impacted by TS Erika our aim has been to provide psychosocial and tangible support towards the road to recovery. The Dominica Red Cross takes this opportunity to acknowledge and extend its profound appreciation of the assistance provided by Volunteers who provided long hours of service (DRC Volunteers, Service Club Members, Digi Play Sales Team Members and Walk In’s), regional Red Cross National Societies, local business houses, DOWASCO, the Government of Dominica, and international donors whose monetary and in-kind contributions have enabled recovery activities targeting Tropical Storm Erika beneficiaries.
The Dominica Red Cross continues to work towards strengthening community resilience which has assumed overarching importance for this SIDS (Small Island Developing State). With the help of all concerned we can become a nation of more resilient and responsive communities.
Be Safe, Be Prepared – Be Red Cross Ready.
