It is in this regard that the Canadian Red Cross and the Government of Canada have since April 2016 been helping the LNRCS with recovery activities. The Red Cross said the over 44 survivors at the center of recovery are being assigned a group of counselors and supplied a package of food and other items. Red Cross Bomi field officer Zinnah Quaye said the 44 MOH staff from the various health facilities were trained in stress management, with 12 health facilities and schools receiving a solar light each. He said 92 WASH volunteers assigned at the various schools, health facilities and communities were trained and received hygiene materials that were distributed to their facilities. 250 Red Cross and community contingency plans and early warning systems for epidemic outbreaks including gender diversity were developed.
