As you know, although Hurricane Patricia was the strongest hurricane ever recorded in the Western Hemisphere, and trusted experts in Mexico predicted terrible damage and loss of life, the storm significantly weakened when it hit land and left much less damage than expected in its wake. American Jewish World Service is still reporting that there is significant damage from heavy rain and winds in the northern mountain region of Oaxaca and in other rural regions where vulnerable communities have a great deal of clean up to do in the aftermath of the storm. While the call for international aid is not as dire as it was a couple of days ago, help is still needed. If you’d like, you can help hurricane survivors and their families by donating to the AJWS Hurricane Patricia Emergency Relief Fund.
