The Civil Defence Commission (CDC) has successfully concluded a comprehensive emergency relief operation in Regions Three, Four, and Five, following a severe windstorm that struck multiple communities on June 2.
In the immediate aftermath of the storm, the CDC mobilized response teams to conduct damage assessments and coordinate recovery efforts with regional authorities, Neighbourhood Democratic Councils (NDCs), and local partners. Affected areas included Kaneville, Uitvlugt, Belle West (Canal No. 2), Farm Mahicony, Hope, Melanie, Cane Grove, and Bare Root.
CDC field officers worked closely with local officials to evaluate the extensive damage, which affected residential homes, public buildings, and essential community facilities. The rapid deployment of personnel and resources enabled a targeted response aimed at providing immediate support to families and facilitating community recovery.
During the relief operation, the CDC distributed critical emergency supplies, including temporary roofing materials, protective tarps, construction materials, and sanitation products. These supplies were essential in helping families secure their homes and maintain safe living conditions.
Lieutenant Colonel Mark Thomas, Deputy Director General of the CDC, reflected on the operation’s success: “Our priority was to provide immediate assistance to families impacted by the windstorm. Our response teams conducted thorough field assessments, engaged directly with affected residents, and ensured the timely distribution of essential supplies to help these communities begin their recovery process.”
The CDC’s prompt actions have been vital in supporting the recovery efforts of the affected communities, demonstrating a commitment to disaster response and community resilience.
