Repairs to Hogares Teresa Toda post H. Maria in PR

Hogares Teresa Toda is committed to maintain a healthy and safe environment for the girls that we serve, the staff and all visitors coming to our fracilities.  The physical environment of the organization shows evidence of ongoing attention to safe practices, reduction of health and safety risks, and an overall concern for the health and safety of the persons served and personnel. 

In preparation to the 2022 Hurricane Season, Hogares Teresa Toda, is  taking affirmative preparation actions to endure any natural disaster event.  One of the major areas needing attention has been the roof of the three buildings in our premises.  During this quarter the sealing of the roofs were divided in three phases as budget  permited.  This work has been possible thanks to the support from donors like you and other community stakeholders.  

Other areas assessed in preparation to the Hurricane Season 2022 have been the emergency procedures considering unique needs of persons served, and things that are appropriate and specific to the service delivery, site or location to promote safety in all types of emergencies.  Being prepared and knowing what to do help the persons served and personnel to respond in all emergency situations, especially those requiring evacuation.  During this quarter, Hogares Teresa Toda conducted evacuation drills for emergencies like earthquakes and fires as well as utility shut down drills in the event of electricity and/or water shut down. 

Hogares Teresa Toda will continue working hard to grant a culture of safety for years to come.
