U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers are supporting the Government of The Bahamas and USAID in life-saving and sustainment operations to aid in the road to recovery, the agency said in a statement.
The CBP reports that it continues to airlift survivors of Hurricane Dorian from the devastated areas of Abaco Island and Grand Bahama Island in Baha, while organizing response teams in the Carolinas to support potential rescue operations there.

In the meantime, CBP aircraft, trailers, agents and officers are in place in the Carolinas and ready to support federal, state and local emergency response efforts once Hurricane Dorian passes. These units can conduct rapid water rescues, advanced life-saving care, and aerial and urban search and rescue.

CBP's top priorities are to promote life-saving and life-sustaining activities, the safe evacuation of people leaving the affected area, maintaining public order, preventing loss of property to the extent possible and ensuring rapid recovery of the region.
