The U.S. Coast Guard Southeast has begun search and rescue operations, and is using helicopters to evacuate injured from Abaco, flying them back to Nassau for urgent care. Broader humanitarian assistance operations will begin as soon as weather permits.
Please stay informed, only trust reliable sources, and keep safe as #Dorian passes through the Bahamas.
EDIT: Thank you also to friends in Bahamas Red Cross Society, Odyssey Aviation Bahamas, Royal Bahamas Defense Force, National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) and others for coming together.
