Summary[edit]

Description

A humanitarian expert from the Department for International Development looks out of the window of an RAF Chinook helicopter as part of a needs assessment mission to Dominica. The Caribbean island of Dominica was devastated by the category 5 Hurricane Maria on Sept 19th, and the Prime Minister of the country, Roosevelt Skerrit requested emergency international assistance. The UK already had military aircraft in the region responding to the damaged caused by Hurricane Irma. A Chinook helicopter from 27 Squadron RAF was tasked to take a needs assessment team to the island, made up of Royal Engineers, humanitarian experts from DFID and the UN, and members of the Caribbean Disasters & Emergencies Management Agency. The team was the first international assistance to arrive on the island.
