When it comes to donations, people are being directed to the Canadian Red Cross and the Atlantic Edge Credit Union.

Port aux Basques Mayor Brian Button says they’re being overwhelmed with donations.

He is advising that people give financial donations to credible organizations like the Canadian Red Cross where every donation is being met dollar-for-dollar by the federal government. Meanwhile, an account has also been set up at the Atlantic Edge Credit Union.

In the meantime, water trucks are arriving and will be set up in the old City Chrysler parking lot tomorrow for people to pick up fresh drinking water.
