Chef José Andrés is on the ground in the Bahamas and getting ready to start feeding survivors

With mass devastation reported in the Bahamas, it’s clear the island nation is going to need a lot of help in the coming days/weeks/months/years:

BP BREAKING| Marsh Harbour, Murphy Town, and Dundas Town Abaco are all reporting mass devastation – Communities destroyed and citizens left homeless…

With that said, celebrity chef José Andrés is already in the Bahamas on Nassau, which is about 80 miles south of where Dorian hit, and getting ready to help feed the survivors:

We @WCKitchen are 80 miles from #HurricaneDorian eye & feeling this!! Imagine what the people of Abaco+Grand Bahamas will experience!

FWIW, here’s Nassau in comparison to the storm’s location:

From what we’re seeing, it looks like the people will need to be evacuated as well as fed:

How do we organize a response in Bahamas? Here’s our current map we are working from…. @WCKitchen has kitchens ready to go and shelters mapped out. If kitchens are destroyed, we build one and cook in big paella pans! https://t.co/yNzrfrKIaS pic.twitter.com/fa4sBN8qMe
