Canada preparing to deliver aid shipments for Texas hurricane victims
OTTAWA — The federal government and the governments of Ontario and Quebec are readying relief supplies, including baby formula and cribs, for victims of hurricane Harvey.
Public Safety Minister Ralph Goodale says the governments are working with the U.S. Federal Emergency Management Agency to co-ordinate the help.
The storm left vast swaths of Texas and parts of Louisiana flooded and forced tens of thousands of people from their homes.
“We reached out to offer whatever support is needed, from airlift capacity to helicopters to whatever is necessary,” Prime Minister Justin Trudeau told a news conference Friday in Saskatoon.
