Thursday October 10, 2024 Dear CMAT Members, I h Thursday October 10, 2024
Dear CMAT Members,
I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to provide an important update on CMAT’s Response to Hurricanes Helene and Milton, which have severely impacted parts of the southeastern United States. As you may know, the situation on the ground remains dire, with significant damage to infrastructure, homes, and communities.
Unfortunately, due to professional and regulatory restrictions, CMAT is unable to deploy our Canadian medical teams to assist. However, we are working closely with our American partners and remain committed to supporting the response efforts in any way we can.
We encourage those of you who are eager to help, to consider donating to our verified PAHO Emergency Medical Team (EMT) partner organizations from the US, who are actively providing critical support in the affected areas.
These teams are working tirelessly to deliver medical aid, supplies, and assistance to communities in need: (links below) 
Heart to Heart International

Team Rubicon USA
https://teamrubiconusa.org/
International Medical Corps

Americares

For those who wish to donate to CMAT for our ongoing preparations for disaster response and obtain a receipt for tax purposes, please visit 
https://www.cmat.ca/donate 
Each of these organizations is making a significant difference on the ground, and your contributions will directly support their ongoing efforts.
Thank you for your continued dedication and support during these challenging times. Together, we can make a meaningful impact and help the affected communities recover.
Posted @withregram • @nwsnhc_hurricanes ...HURRI Posted @withregram • @nwsnhc_hurricanes ...HURRICANE AND STORM SURGE WARNINGS ISSUED FOR PORTIONS OF THE FLORIDA WEST COAST...
...#MILTON POSES AN EXTREMELY SERIOUS THREAT TO FLORIDA AND RESIDENTS ARE URGED TO FOLLOW THE ORDERS OF LOCAL OFFICIALS...
Advisory: 4:00 PM CDT/5:00 PM EDT
Key Messages:
1. Damaging hurricane-force winds and a life-threatening storm surge with destructive waves are expected across portions of the northern coast of the Yucatan Peninsula through tonight. 
2. Milton is expected to grow in size and remain an extremely dangerous hurricane when it approaches the west coast of Florida on Wednesday. A large area of destructive storm surge will occur along parts of the west coast of Florida on Wednesday. This is an extremely life-threatening situation and residents in those areas should follow advice given by local officials and evacuate immediately if told to do so.
3. Potentially devastating hurricane-force winds are expected along portions of the west coast of Florida where a Hurricane Warning is in effect. Milton is forecast to remain a hurricane as it crosses the Florida Peninsula and life-threatening hurricane-force winds, especially in gusts, are expected to spread inland across a portion of the entire Florida Peninsula. Preparations to protect life and property in the warning areas should be complete by Tuesday night since tropical storm conditions are expected to begin within this area early Wednesday. 
4. Areas of heavy rainfall will impact portions of Florida today well ahead of Milton, with heavy rainfall more directly related to the system expected later on Tuesday through Wednesday night. This rainfall will bring the risk of considerable flash, urban, and areal flooding, along with the potential for moderate to major river flooding.

Today, we’re wearing orange to honour the Indige Today, we’re wearing orange to honour the Indigenous children and families affected by residential schools in Canada - a colonial system that left generational scars on the Indigenous community. 
We encourage everyone to recognize and reflect on our biases, listen and learn from the experiences of survivors, their family members and communities, and take action to make our world a better place for all. #everychildmatters #OrangeShirtDay #truthandreconciliation
