A clearer picture is beginning to emerge of Hurricane Maria’s devastation of Dominica. Yesterday evening (20 September), the principal to Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit shared photographs – including the first of the prime minister since the storm (meaning the images are genuine and can be used). Images can be accessed via http://bit.ly/2fkfxg1.
Prime Minster Roosevelt Skerrit posted on his Facebook page that Canefield Airport is open and the largest aircraft that can land is the Twin Otter until 15 minutes after sunset.
The prime minister confirmed 15 dead so far.
Caribbean Tourism Organization (CTO) has activated its CTO Relief Fund (a 501 (c) 3) through GoFundMe to help families and countries rebuild after hurricanes, with monies raided being sent directly to CTO-member destinations affected by the catastrophic storm.

The latest location, projected path of Hurricane Maria and warnings/watches can be viewed on the National Hurricane Center.
