San Fernando Disaster Management Unit (SFDU) co-ordinator Hayden Alexander has described as “good” the response by San Fernando residents to a plea for relief supplies for families who were affected by last weekend’s devastating flood in Diego Martin. Speaking yesterday at the unit’s office, City Hall, San Fernando Alexander said supplies, which included canned foodstuff and clothing, have been trickling in since the notice of assistance was published on Wednesday.

‘We expect some more because a number of people have called so we will continue this effort until next week,” Alexander added. He said the supplies would be taken to the Diego Martin Regional Corporation today. Relief supplies including, but not limited to, canned goods and clothing can be dropped at the SDMU, City Hall, Harris Promenade, San Fernando. Persons who want to donate items can also e-mail SDMU at sdmu25@yahoo.com.
