Sint Maarten

RESPONSE TO IRMA - 2017

GER³ designed two rapid recovery interventions to help the people of Sint Maarten in the wake of the Hurricane Irma. First was the removal of debris and cleanup of the Leonard Conner School in Cay Bay where nearly 300 students and teachers were waiting to reclaim and reopen the school. GER³ also oversaw debris removal from the home of an elderly woman and her disabled daughter on the Philipsburg waterfront. Both interventions were designed in direct consultation with affected communities, the national government, U.N. partner agencies and key operational partner Tzu Chi Sint Maarten.
