Bryanell: This would seem to contradict your statements.

My nephew in DC is a reasonably big wig at FEMA and reports the following
There have been delays at the airport in PAP in delivering supplies because some well meaning volunteers arrived expecting that they would be fed and watered
DO NOT go into PAP unless you have a contact there with a well who will take you in
WATER is in very short supply
There are serious delays now at the border as the road has been hit.
IT now will take 7 hours from the border to get into PAP-- as opposed to one hour. (Italics and bold are mine , HB).
PLEASE DO GO into PAP unless you are trained first responder working with the Dominican Red CROSS
THE MOST PRESSING need now is WATER
ANYTHING that delays the WATER TRUCKS hinders the rescue efforts.
please see my blog at
