The GTC community is amazing here. Spirits are still high and construction and cleanup continues daily. Volunteers are very welcome. VHF community net meets daily at 8:15 a.m. on channel 72. There is a daily review of volunteer projects, mostly involving cleanup of construction sites and beaches along with some light construction help needed. There is also an assortment of other activities that come up at times. Key West Cares (check them out on Facebook) is very active and coordinates shipping of materials and organizing roofing and construction crews. They can always use skilled carpenters and other trades people. They’re located in the building just across from the Government Dock. Just stop in and check them out.
Update for Green Turtle Cay by Bahamas Chatter – 12 October, 2019:
Construction has already begun to restore homes and businesses and clear endless piles of debris. There is no water or electricity in the town. Some people have their own generators. Relief efforts continue with locals and outside volunteers coming in to help with construction, food, medical care, etc. The school miraculously survived as a shelter for the entire town until after the hurricane passed. The road that extends the length of the cay is open. Freight boats have been coming in with supplies and construction crews. A BobCat loader was donated to help fill the dump trucks with massive piles of debris. Watermakers has come in to help with supplying bottled drinking water for the islanders and construction crews. Also crews have set up a kitchen for workers with basic meals.
