As most visitors are aware, the northern part of The Bahamas has been devastated by hurricane Dorian.

Anybody interested in providing assistance or supplies as part of the relief efforts should contact AOPA as they are working hand-in-hand with The Bahamas government as well as the Bahamian Government, the FAA and CBP.

Also, note that in conjunction with The Bahamas government, a Temporary Flight Restriction has been established over the Bahamas as follows:

FDC 9/3507 ZMA FL..SPECIAL SECURITY INSTRUCTIONS..BAHAMAS HURRICANE DORIAN DISASTER RESPONSE AND RECOVERY EFFORTS.
