Hurricane Dorian Disaster Relief
Hurricane Dorian struck the Abaco Islands on Sunday, September 1, followed by Grand Bahama, as the strongest landfalling Atlantic hurricane in recorded history, with historic 185 mph winds and up to a 23 ft. storm surge. The storm has left the country in a state of shock and Abaco and Grand Bahama – where the eye made landfall – completely devastated.
As Hurricane Dorian was raging through Abaco, leaders of District 7020, the Disaster Network of Assistance Action Group and neighbouring Rotary Districts in Zone 33-34 gathered to formulate plans for the recovery efforts they knew would be needed the very next day.
The team is on alert and will be meeting on a very regular basis, confirming the status of Rotarians and clubs and monitoring the immediate and longer-term needs. Our experience of the storms of 2017 will serve us well as we head into another year of returning these islands to their former beauty.
Together we will rebuild.
