THA solicits Irma relief

A call for donations of these items came from the Tobago House of Assembly (THA) late Monday afternoon. “The THA is leading Tobago’s effort to provide aid to Caribbean islands impacted by Hurricane Irma. The public is asked to support these efforts by donating emergency relief supplies as well as financial support”, the THA stated in a release.

These supplies, the release added, should include cases of bottled water; canned foods; hygiene packs; baby wipes; disposal baby diapers; infant formula; tarpaulins; new clothing, sheets and blankets and cleaning agents.

Donations can be dropped off daily between 9 am and 5 pm, at the Tobago Emergency Management Agency’s (TEMA) headquarters at Fairfield Complex in Scarborough or at its Signal Hill warehouse next to the Army camp. The public can also donate to the TT Red Cross Society’s disaster relief fund account at Republic Bank, account number 180482517101, the THA advised.

Anyone seeking further information can call the 211 Hotline or visit www.tha.gov.tt. The Caribbean Disaster Emergency Management Agency (CDEMA), is coordinating regional support for those affected by Hurricane Irma.
