Good news from Carrefour! Gas stations are opening and fuel is not so hard to come by. That is going to make transportation much easier! It's a real pain to push a truck to the airport from Carrefour!
Ricardo's crushed home has been cleared and a perimeter set up in which to contain incoming supplies, workers, and perhaps a small medical clinic. The current plan is to construct a temporary building (stick built/tin roof) in that location. Anything permanent could possibly be torn down by the government, which probably has a master design plan for reconstruction of the city, so it's probably smart not to do too much, too fast.
Two of the original team members, Sabrina, a nurse, and Katrina Smoker are helping to manage a local hospital and supplies are beginning to trickle in! Dr. Gerdes is also still on the ground and hard at work.
Bryan is hoping to fly out again next week since Rodney wants him to help on the ground with logistics for a few days. This would free Rodney up to work with his people.
From there, Bryan is hoping to fly to Jeremie with my father. (Newcomers to the blog: Jeremie is not a person, it is a village :)
