Infrastructural, home repairs begin in Barbuda

Repair work has begun on houses in Barbuda that received minimal damage from Hurricane Irma.

Two teams are presently on the sister-isle – one to complete the list of materials needed and another group will commence work on the structures that are regarded as Levels One and Two. Two hundred and fifty-seven homes fall within these categories.

Building materials, tarpaulin, blankets and other items like tents, water tanks and water storage containers have been sent over to the sister island. The workmen will assist those Barbudans who are on the island.
