Emergency Hurricane Relief Request
The situation is dire in the Jalapa Valley
Nov. 17, Central America braced for its second major storm in as many weeks as Hurricane Iota, a record-setting Category 5 storm, roared ashore in Nicaragua Monday night November 9, 2020.
The storm made landfall in nearly exactly the same place as Eta,a Category 4 hurricane. Coordinator Karla Pozo describes massive crop failure, adobe houses at the point of collapse, washed out roads and bridges isolating entire communities, and the specter of widespread hunger and disease. We are launching an emergency response to this crisis.
