This revised Emergency Appeal seeks a total of some 889,798 Swiss francs decreased from 2,459,751 Swiss francs to enable the IFRC to support the Dominican Red Cross (DRC) to deliver assistance and support to some 20,000 people for 16 months, with a focus on the following areas of focus and strategies of implementation: Health and care, water, sanitation and hygiene promotion, shelter and settlements (and household items), disaster preparedness and risk reduction and National Society capacity building. This revised Appeal results in a funding gap of 83,259 Swiss francs based on an extended timeframe. Apart from the reduction in the budget other changes include four month time frame extension to complete the DRR activities and changes in health, WASH; as well as the removal of the livelihoods component. The planned response reflects the current situation and information available at this time of the evolving operation. Details are available in the Emergency Plan of Action (EPoA)
