le secours d’urgence

emergency relief

Les équipes de secours d’urgence restent en Haïti.
Emergency relief teams remain in Haiti.

THIS WEEK
Our vocabulary topic is emergency relief. While reading about the events in Haiti over the past few weeks, we’ve come across many words and phrases that may not come up a lot in day-to-day conversational French but nonetheless could be very important for communicating in a crisis. This week, we will explore some of those words. Of course, many of the words you’ll see, thankfully, will be able to be used in situations of far lesser magnitude.
