Hurricane Dorian has proven to be one of the more challenging storms to ascertain how and where to best respond. Dorian’s slow and powerful move across the Bahamas has resulted in unprecedented decimation of property and has been responsible for the loss of several lives. All of our hearts have been moved by the devastation we are seeing and like you, we’ve been praying for the survivors. HFI is actively engaged in pursuing several approaches in response to the need. We’re connecting with partner agencies in-country, with opportunities beginning to take shape. As you can imagine, responding to an island has its numerous logistical challenges -- and having a local partner is absolutely essential.- Housing: Plan to sleep on the floor – bring mats/cots & sleeping gear
