The US is sending medical preparedness and training exercise teams to the DR. They are scheduled to arrive today to support Dominican government efforts helping flood victims in vulnerable areas, now that most people have been evacuated to safe ground. As of 8 November, the US government had provided US$1.4 million in immediate aid to the DR, and an additional US$100,000 for neighboring Haiti, through the US Agency for International Development (USAID) and the Office of US Foreign Disaster Assistance.
