And almost nobody that I’m in contact with here, and in other parts of the world, has had any contact. CDEMA, the Caribbean Disaster Emergency Management Agency, carried out surveillance yesterday by aircraft and there is footage indicating widespread destruction and damage. “My information is that the CDEMA survey indicates that the airport at Douglas Charles, in the north of the island, the main airport, the runway is useable. If that’s correct, then at least it will be possible for aircraft to get in and assist the recovery and relief effort. I’m hoping that is correct.”
