Sad oh so sad. As expected the aftermath will be hard to deal with especially if the government is
lacking in good decision making...where roads are impassable,the JDF or some other entity MUST use helicopters to place key personnel in places such as Black River. Even having 10 security persons per
trip would be lessen problems.
Same with food relief; are there not many Copters in the Army .They can land in small areas and
speed up things.
Complaints against the govt's response are to be expected. People are hurting in many ways.
Its a massive task but better mobilisation is key . A health crisis has to be averted with all that
contamination that is abounding.
One of the hardest thing for me is to cry. But I am in deep despair watching and hearing of suffering
and trauma. Govt Must step up it's game immensely .
I do expect the death toll to rise, anything less than 100 will be cause for much thanksgiving.
We are doing all we can here in Philly to send needed supplies.
We also would like to see the govt declare no cess /tax/duties or whatever that is being sent by organizations and individuals from abroad. That reassurance should be forthcoming as individuals are doing their thing to help their families/relatives and this will be ongoing and stepped over the coming months too.
County Cornwall is in severe crisis.

Did not meet Charles..but a loss is a loss and mourning even for a minute is good.
Yes I saw pictures/video of Whitehouse and I am horrified. Deighton is a passionate one and a people person so it is understandable. Hope these folks get maximum help to recover and rebuild their lives.
Some places will take a decade or more to really come good....and the thing that is irksome to me is that this govt may not be up to the task of the requirements .
My wife's folks lost everything in MoBay. Still have not heard from relatives of her district Dias in Hanover. I think my few remaining relatives in Western St. Mary are ok.
We can only hope.
