Now is the time for Red Cross to come to La Gonave Island

The island of La Gonave doesn't have any outside presence that is on a large national scale. Many of the non-profits have a limited budget and are focused on programs that are not for the entire island population. While La Gonave lies many miles from the coast of the mainland, it doesn't have any organization that can bring focus to the island when a national disaster happens. Given that Hurricane Irma missed La Gonave (barely), is proof that in times of extreme weather, we need an organization like The Red Cross. It does exist on the mainland, and is well established. We need to get the organization onto the island and setup a small office presence there. Given the size of Anse-a-Galets, a small 5,400 sq. ft. space would be a great starting point. Having this presence will be a lifeline for the island residence when they get cut off from services from the mainland during a natural disaster. Go Gonave!
