CURRENT SITUATION & SUMMARY 

17 August 2021 LAST 24 

BLUF 

The joint Aerial Recovery Group (Team Aerial) and Jack Brewer Foundation team continued medical evacuation and resupply missions working with Mission of Hope in and around Les Cayes, Haiti. SAR combined with medical casevac/medevac and other medical missions are of the highest priority within the region. Every hospital in the area has either received structural damage, is under-staffed, overwhelmed with patients, has intermittent to no electricity, under equipped or a combination of all of these factors. It was determined to best facilitate the day’s mission Team Aerial would move into split team operations (Team A,Team B). Team A to assist with patient evacuation and coordinations and Team B to focus on resupply, casevac and shelter construction.

British Virgin Islands, March 26, 2021 – Aerial Recovery Group has been named an official partner of the BVI Department of Disaster Management, marking the long-term continuation of their work together since the Hurricanes Irma and Maria in 2017. The organization will also host its first-ever Resiliency Summit in BVI from March 27 - April 2. The Summit is one fulfillment of the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between Aerial Recovery Group and the BVI Department of Disaster Management, which calls for the company to support the Territory’s ongoing emergency preparedness and response program.

Aerial Recovery Group believes that by improving living standards and creating better infrastructure and response systems in regions affected by natural disasters, you can help break the cycle of poverty and help nations recover even stronger than before. To allow for maximum preparedness, our team of highly trained experts and former military special forces provides the necessary training, resiliency planning and global best practices for local disaster management teams so they have a template for recovery, rebuilding and revitalization - a true game changer for these affected nations.

One of the main goals for this second mission was to provide swift water training to first responders in Honduras to better prepare them for rescue operations during disasters with massive amounts of flooding like after Hurricanes Eta & Iota. The team conducted training with members of the Cepudo Foundation on the Chamelecon River. This river caused major damage after the November hurricanes,...

During our first mission, Honduras was massively flooded from the hurricanes. It rained nearly everyday after the second hurricane and all through our mission, leaving entire villages under water. Now, the flood waters have receded so the true damage can be seen. Homes are all but destroyed, entire villages have been washed away, and thousands of people are displaced, some living on the side of the roads with nowhere to go. 

One critical thing to understand about Honduras is that it was an impoverished third world country before the storms. These hurricanes devastated an already devastated nation. And while the airports have reopened and the industries have started back up, it's not enough yet to make true progress. 

People are still in need of clothing, clean water and food. The local charities have been working overtime to fill the needs in their communities, but as quickly as aid comes in, it's gone within a day or two, and doesn't come close to reaching everybody who...
