St. Lucia Hurricane Tomas Relief

Local disaster and emergency units as well as global organizations have mobilized assistance to help victims of Hurricane Tomas in St. Lucia. The UN, UNICEF, the French Navy, and British military have extended humanitarian assistance to the wind and flood ravaged island nation. According to The St. Lucia Red Cross Society ten tons of immediate relief needs such as food and water have been delivered by airlift into communities inaccessible by road due to landslides. Damage and needs assessments through coordinated disaster response teams NEMO (National Emergency Organization), DANA (Damage and Needs Assessment, Red Cross) and RNET (Rapid Needs Assessment Team of the Caribbean Disaster Emergency Management Agency) are in progress.
