(PRESS RELEASE)
“Today, Airbnb activated our Disaster Response Program to assist residents and visitors in the island of Barbuda who are evacuating to the island of Antigua in the wake of the destruction caused by Hurricane Irma.
Through our program, those in need of temporary accommodations– including emergency relief workers and volunteers– are able to connect with Airbnb hosts in areas that are safe who are opening their homes free of charge from now through September 28.
We encourage hosts in these safe areas to aid in this effort by listing their available rooms or homes on our platform to help those needing to evacuate. Our thoughts are with everyone impacted by this storm, and we thank the government and emergency response personnel who are working hard to keep their communities safe.”
