2009 is well upon us and NEMO is already preparing for the upcoming
hurricane season which starts on June 1ST.
With the images still fresh in mind, government’s humanitarian assistance
to people affected in the Cayo, Belize, Orange Walk and Corozal Districts
continue to date.
At this time houses are either being repaired, lifted or constructed in
Lemonal and Rancho Dolores in the Belize District, Calla Creek and Bullet Tree
Falls in the Cayo District as part of the assistance. Among the badly affected
areas was Douglas in the Orange Walk District that had to be evacuated for
several weeks due to contaminated flood waters.
Late last week, almost 90 wooden doors were distributed to residents who
were affected by flooding left behind by Tropical Depression #16 this past
October.
