Hurricane Dorian, the strongest hurricane on record to ever hit the Bahamas, made landfall last week, casting the island nation into a state of emergency. The destruction to Abaco and Grand Bahamas is staggering.

Initial assessments in the wake of the Category 5 storm show entire communities under water and extensive damage to homes, health clinics and hospitals. The death toll right now is at 43, but is expected to rise considerably. The UN said Dorian is a ‘disaster of epic proportions’ and that more than 70,000 people are in need lifesaving assistance. Our team is in Nassau now, dispatching the mobile medical unit to Abaca and Grand Bahamas.

As a non-profit organization, NYC Medics depends upon the generosity of our donors to help rapidly deploy our group of dedicated volunteers to help save lives when and where we’re needed most.
