Partnerships are key!
Here's a glimpse at GEM’s first week's work for Hurricane Beryl survivors throughout 5 countries. Global Empowerment Mission and our partners are on the ground distributing supplies for the aftermath of this major hurricane. Hurricane Beryl has affected the Caribbean significantly, with heavy destruction and damage across St. Vincent, Grenada, Jamaica, and other surrounding islands. Additionally, Beryl also caused damage in Mexico and Texas. From our Doral, Florida Headquarters, we are packing and sending large-scale humanitarian aid onto air cargo and trucks, landing in all the affected zones. We have team members deployed to support affected individuals with critical aid on the ground in Grenada, St. Vincent, Tulum, Cozumel, Jamaica, and Houston. We will be conducting these distributions indefinitely. The GEM team is providing food, water, hygiene supplies, tarps, generators, mattresses, and other necessary supplies to those impacted by Hurricane Beryl. Tomorrow we are already stating roof repairs in Treasure Beach, Jamaica with our partners.

In 2022, Hurricane Fiona caused extensive damage in Atlantic Canada and eastern Quebec. To help affected communities and businesses rebuild, resume economic activity and adapt so as to be prepared for future extreme weather events, the Government of Canada established the Hurricane Fiona Recovery Fund (HFRF). In Quebec, the Fund was coordinated by CED. Today, we announced that 20 affected organizations in the Îles-de-la-Madeleine and Gaspésie, including 5 municipal governments, received financial assistance under the HFRF that allowed them to: • meet their immediate needs and thus recover more quickly from the consequences of Hurricane Fiona; and • take steps to reduce their vulnerability to future extreme events, including improving climate comfort centres.
