NASSAU, The Bahamas -- Declaring the impact of Hurricane Dorian on the Northern Bahamas, "an historic tragedy," Prime Minister the Most Hon. Dr. Hubert Minnis led a NEMA press conference at NEMA headquarters, September 2, 2019 as Dorian continued to impact Grand Bahama.  Prime Minister Minnis said upon the 'all clear,' there will be rapid assessment and relief and recovery initiatives -- most urgently in Grand Bahama and Abaco, which received the brunt.  Critical measures are in place and every resource will be brought to bear, he said, to bring relief as quickly as possible.  He stated he has received kind encouragement from leaders of the Caribbean Community and from around the world.  And he asked Bahamians and residents to open their homes at this time to family and friends in need.
