Immediately upon notification of the water supply problem, the Care Agency implemented contingency plans to safeguard the vulnerable members in our community, whether elderly or people with disabilities to ensure that provision of fresh water was available to them and have been working closely with AquaGib .
Additionally, the Care Agency has safeguarded its services to ensure that all its residential facilities are safeguarded. Water has been procured for all residential facilities.
Care providers have been working with the AquaGib helpline (20073659/hearing@aquagib.gi) to identify vulnerable members of our community and to ensure that everyone is captured.
The Care Agency has reassured elderly and vulnerable already known to services have access to the help line and to water should they need it.
