Dominican Red Cross

Following one of the most devastating hurricane seasons in recent history, a four-year initiative launched to help Caribbean islands prioritize and invest in natural ecosystems.

More than 10 countries and territories were directly affected as hurricanes Irma and María ravaged the Caribbean and later the coastal states in the U.S.

Red Cross volunteers and staff are once again on high alert across the Caribbean as Maria cuts a path of destruction.

Hurricane Irma, one of the most powerful storms to hit the Americas, has caused devastation across the Caribbean. Red Cross societies are on the ground supporting the local response.
