Recovery continues on Cayman Brac and Little Cayman, the two Sister Islands that suffered damage from Hurricane Paloma on 8 November.
As of 6am Wednesday, a temporary trailer site has been setup next to the Watering Place playground.
Anyone in need of trailers is asked to call the Brac Command Centre to apply. The numbers are 925-626l; 925-6262 and 925-6265.
Temporary generators with light towers have been placed at public restrooms in Spot Bay, Creek Port, the Creek area and Watering Place.
Washers installed at the Spot Bay and Watering Place public restrooms are expected to be fully functional Thursday.
The Department of Environmental Health is asking people to take waste, separated into categories, to the main road as garbage trucks cannot access smaller roads. The Red Cross and ADRA are assisting older persons and those who need help in this effort.
DEH is also reminding everyone that it is illegal to burn garbage. Burning can worsen the condition of those with respiratory illnesses and creates a safety hazard with all the debris around.
About 787 pounds of food and water reached Little Cayman Wednesday morning. Three ADRA personnel also arrived to help with distribution.
Royal Cayman Islands Police Service is warning people to slow down when they drive for their own safety and that of others. The police warn that fines will be imposed for speeding.

Residents are asked to be patient as work continues.
