PROGRAM SUMMARY Program Title: All Hands Volunteers Project Dominica Project Duration: Sept 8, 2015 – Oct 10, 2015 (tentative Date of Report: September 18th, 2015 date) All Hands Project Director: Sherry Buresh, Director of Disaster Response All Hands Project Sherry Buresh, Emma Bate, Andrew Lem, Ike Go Christian. Coordinators: Katie Rose, April Tatlonghari II. GENERAL OVERVIEW Dominica Demographics Dominica’s population is 72,003 according to the 2013 census. 29% of households and 40% of the general population live in poverty. 11% of households and 15% of the general population live in indigent poverty. An average of 50% of Dominica's children live in poverty. Tropical Storm Erika On August 27th tropical storm Erika ravaged the eastern Caribbean Island of Dominica, delivering nearly twelve inches of rain in twelve hours. Rivers and streams surged carrying boulders and debris destroying homes, roads, bridges and land. The heavy rains disturbed mountain sides creating landslides engulfing homes, many becoming inhabited. The entire villages of Petite Savanne and Dubique, are both uninhabitable, yet some residents remain there in an unsafe environment. The 700 residents will not be allowed to rebuild there. Plans are to relocate and build two new villages containing 400 homes. Helicopters continue making trips to the villages twice a day to deliver supplies. A bridge, the only access to the villages, was washed away with the flood currents, leaving a 50 foot drop. A rope swing bridge has been created spanning the lands for villagers to cross by foot. 6-7 government run shelters remain open with 700 evacuees still staying in them.

  • Tropical Storm Erika (As of 5:00 Pm on September 6Th, 2015)
    CDEMA Situation Report #10 - Tropical Storm Erika (as of 5:00 pm on September 6th, 2015) HIGHLIGHTS CDEMA has drafted a recommendation for the recovery of Dominica based on the Model National Recovery Framework. It focuses on the development of a Recovery Coordination Committee and a National Recovery Task Force. Rotation and Redeployment of relief and response teams under the Regional Response Mechanism arrangement is continuing as necessary. It is expected that by early next week all of the Search and Rescue teams will leave Dominica for their home countries. Airport Work is ongoing to operationlise the Melville Hall Airport. A LIAt aircraft completed a successful test landing on Saturday, September 5, 2015. Relief to Communities The needs of the isolated communities are being met in numerous ways. Food, water and other supplies are being distributed by various groups. Food is also being distributed to the shelters and meals are also being prepared by local people. Dominica Red Cross The Dominica Red Cross continues to support the relief effort and has been distributing supplies to several communities including, Pichelin, Grand Bay, Bagatelle, Fond St. Jean and Pointe Carib. Supplies distributed to these areas include hygiene kits, water, buckets, jerry cans, kitchen kits, and tarpaulin. Caribbean Institute for Meteorology and Hydrology (CIMH) Staff from the Caribbean Institute for Meteorology and Hydrology (CIMH) participated in a planning meeting between the Dominica Ministry of Public Works and the World Bank team on the island. The CIMH team visited the Pichelin area to assess the hydrological conditions in the area. They also participated in a site visit over Petite Savanne to survey the damage and assess the geological stability of the area.

  • NAMES on DOMINICA Dominica Was Occupied Successively by Speakers
    NAMES ON DOMINICA BY DOUGLAS TAYLOR *) Dominica was occupied successively by speakers of Arawakan, Cariban, French, and English dialects, all of which have left their mark in place-names, as well as in the names of local flora and fauna. African influence appears to have been minimal in this respect. The Arawakan language of the island's early in- habitants survived that of the Carib invaders (from which, how- ever, many words were borrowed), but the last native speaker died about 1920. Two languages are spoken today: English and a dialect of French Creole. The former, being the language of prestige, is usually employed by the more socio-economically privileged minority, the latter by the peasant majority, few of whom know much English. However, members of the first class often resort to Creole in their more intimate relations; while many among even the poorest peasants may be heard addressing young children in what they believe to be English, and chiding them for speaking "Patois". One curious result of this situation is that not only local fruits, trees, fishes, birds, e/c., but also many places — probably most of those that have ever been recorded in writing — have two (or more) names, the one em- ployed in Creole and the other in English speech. So, for example, Grande Anse or Portsmouth is the island's second largest town, Charlotteville or New Town is a suburb of the capital Roseau (which has no other name), Cachacrou or Scots Head is a peninsula at the island's southwestern extremity, Cachibona of Clyde is one of its rivers.

  • Socio-Economic Monitoring Assessment of Coastal Management in the Colihaut, Dublanc and Bioche Villages of Dominica
    Socio-economic monitoring assessment of coastal management in the Colihaut, Dublanc and Bioche villages of Dominica ALTHIA ST. LOUIS, DERRICK THEOPHILE, JULLAN DEFOE, RHIANNAN PRICE AND ROSETTE LEWIS Centre for Resource Management and Environmental Studies (CERMES) University of the West Indies, Faculty of Pure and Applied Sciences Cave Hill Campus, Barbados 2009 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Coastal management has justifiably become a priority throughout the world. The ecological and economic value of coastlines, reefs, beaches, fisheries, and marine life cannot be underestimated as the steady degradation of natural resources prevails worldwide. To avoid complete loss of such resources, decisions that impact the fragile coastal ecosystem must be carefully determined by the gamut of stakeholders. Sustainable development has delineated guidelines for improved management, but the process to sustainability is thwarted by a lack of information and conflicting stakeholder agendas. An inherent lack of information makes socio-economic monitoring an important key in determining the most effective management strategies. Accounting for social, cultural, and economic influences strengthens the decision-making process by giving it a more accurate, holistic approach. Often, these influences are remembered only as they are passed down generation to generation, and subsequently, this anthropological information can be lost as values and traditions shift or change over time. The strength of the socio-economic assessment is the preservation of these important social and cultural values, not in isolation, but in tandem with equally significant factors such as economics and scientific data. The purpose of this study is to preserve a social, cultural, and economic portrait of three coastal communities so that existing and future scientific data can be useful for their sustainable development.
