    Project Dominica Situation Report I. 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.

  • Dominica Flash Flooding and Landslides, April 17- 25, 2013
    SITUATION REPORT #1 - DOMINICA FLASH FLOODING AND LANDSLIDES, APRIL 17- 25, 2013 Message CDEMA has initiated a Level 2 Response to facilitate requests from Dominica following flash flooding and landslides as a result of heavy rains over the period April 17 – 20, 2013. Major road subsidence at Pond Casse on April 19, caused the death of two persons. Event Reports from the Office of Disaster Management (ODM) state that Dominica experienced an extended period of moisture and instability associated with a trough system which generated heavy rains and isolated thunderstorms mainly across the central portion of the island commencing on the 17th April and lasting until the 20th April 2013. Rainfall records from the Dominica Meteorological Services obtained Melville Hall and Canefield Airports indicate an accumulated total rainfall for the period a 437.7mm/17ins and 120.8mm/4.5ins respectively. The after effects of the trough system have left lingering moisture in the area that continues to cause isolated showers. Situation: According to ODM, the continuous rainfall has caused landslides and flash flooding with extensive tree and rock falls in many areas. Up to April 25, the continuing isolated showers are resulting in cresting of rivers and further saturation of soils. Damage was mainly sustained to roads, tourism infrastructure and utilities. ODM also received reports of minor damage to fishing communities and residents in rural areas due to flooding. Casualties Two persons are dead and one injured after the vehicle they were travelling in fell into the 40 feet crater created by a road subsidence at Pond Casse on April 19.
