Presbyterian Disaster Assistance has been closely following the recent

spate of

hurricanes that have destroyed parts of the Caribbean and

the U.S. Gulf Coast.  A coordinated response with our

mission partners and our ecumenical partners is underway

for Haiti and Cuba, both of which have been hit by multiple

storms including Hurricane Ike.



Reports on the response will be updated on the PDA Web

site.  Currently available are the following:
