The Islands of The Bahamas Need Our Help! Hurricane Dorian has severely affected much of the Bahamas and other territories and there is now a concerted effort to be made to lend financial support for the immediate emergency recovery and relief efforts. District 7030 is calling on all Rotarians, friends and family to contribute to one or more of the funds outlined below and render much needed assistance to our neighbors in the Northern Caribbean.
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 immediately. 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. Experience of the storms of 2017 will serve them well as they head into another year of returning these islands to their former beauty. Although the brunt of the storm was borne by the northern islands of the Bahamian archipelago, much of the area, including Nassau, New Providence, continues to experience heavy rainfall and flooding.
