01:33Our President's order is to provide quality care, including medical care, especially in evacuation centers.
01:42Other things like clean water, safe housing, food, family packs, hygiene kit.
01:51We have sufficient resources.
01:54We are maximizing on that window so that we can augment the assistance
02:02and preposition for the following hurricanes.
02:08We are seeing about two to three more.
02:11After Marseille. So we are preparing for that.
