Continental football governing body, Concacaf, has established a disaster evaluation taskforce as part of its plan to bring much-needed relief to Caribbean countries devastated by the recent passage of hurricanes Irma and Maria.

President of Concacaf victor Montagliani said the confederation would be supporting on-going relief efforts as well as providing resources to help rebuild infrastructure in the affected nations.

Overall, 16 Concacaf nations—including Mexico which was struck by a massive earthquake recently—have been impacted by recent natural disasters and have been earmarked for relief.

The disaster evaluation taskforce will assess the individual needs of each affected nation and also “identify potential support measures and recommend the best course of action.”

Concacaf will then coordinate their efforts with those of world governing body, FIFA, and the football community in implementing the required relief.
