  • Following the earthquake, a Canadian Forces DART (Disaster Assistance Response Team) reconnaissance team was urgently deployed to Port-au-Prince, bringing with it urgent supplies and expert personnel to assess the situation.

  • A massive C-17 aircraft carrying a larger DART deployment of emergency supplies, personnel, and a search and rescue helicopter has just landed in Port-au-Prince. And more planes will be sent in the coming days.

  • Minister Oda has announced that we will match, dollar for dollar, Canadians’ charitable contributions for disaster assistance to Haiti. This is addition to the $5M preliminary contribution announced yesterday.
