A second disaster relief module and an additional AmeriCares medical team will depart Danbury Hospital, also via helicopter in the coming hour. "AmeriCares has been at the front lines battling manmade and natural disasters for nearly twenty years and I have never seen anything of this magnitude," stated Andrew Hannah, AmeriCares' Vice Chairman.
