RE: Steemit exclusive...Photos during and post Hurricane Irma ravaged through St Maarten...

Do you guys have cell service? My wife has been working with people on the BVI's thru a Facebook page for support. Has anything like that been set up? Is the Dutch govt still helping?

My family is looking to help in whatever way possible. Let us know what is needed most and who to get in touch with.

Sort:  

As for what is happening on the ground, nothing really is happening but the King has made a number of promises. Telem is working and chippe has been up and down(Cell service). The Dutch are doing assessment and I am not to sure about any Facebook page but I know Countries like Trinidad and Tobago has been evacuating its citizens as the situation on the ground has really deteriorated. The Dutch has been flying out their people, mostly varying Caribbean national remaining. There are accepting funding through official channels but with my experience of those things very little if any help actually reach the people on the ground. The insurance folks are doing their assessment so we see how things go

Thanks a million for the links, really appreciate it
