They are now living in shelters, with Government providing sustenance. The government has set aside $50 million in the interim.Prime Minister Samuel Hinds is the most senior government official to visit the flooded areas and deemed the situation dire, noting that flood waters had affected farms, homes, businesses, and threatened the utility services and telecommunications services at the weekend.According to Dr Luncheon, following the Prime Minister’s visit, a regional response mechanism was put in place.The flooding has made the road transportation system impossible, with some sections of the roads “under many feet of water.” As a result, this has cut off villages in the north, south and south central Rupununi.Dr Luncheon could not say immediately exactly how many communities and families are affected.He said that the relief efforts at the moment are focused on using the military Y-12 aircraft to take food supplies into the affected areas. The food supplies are delivered to the main staging areas,cheap nfl jerseys, namely Annai and Lethem, and then air-ferried to affected villages.He said that communication with the communities have been through radio systems set up by the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Local Government. The communities provide updates on their situation, Luncheon said, and relief is channeled accordingly.“The forecast is that the situation would not relent overnight and particularly attention is being paid to amount of water accumulation on land,wholesale jerseys,” Dr Luncheon stated.To the extent that flooding has destroyed/removed road transportation,cheap nfl jerseys china, Dr Luncheon said that air flights and riverain transportation would be the main ways of getting around and implementing disaster responses in that region.“So we’re looking at sustaining relief by once the road transport system remains significantly impaired.”Regarding long-term relief, Dr Luncheon said that with the economic basis for the livelihoods of the people destroyed,jerseys nfl wholesale, there will be a time when the relief efforts will be stepped up to revitalisating the economic activities in the villages.
