Hurricane Dean was the strongest tropical cyclone of the 2007 Atlantic hurricane season. Dean was downgraded to a tropical depression because it lost its strength after battering Eastern Coast of Mexico. But the storm continued to be dangerous and destructive. Heavy rains could cause life-threatening flash floods and mudslides in parts of southern and central Mexico, according to the National Hurricane Center in Miami, Florida. There were an estimated of up to 20 inches of rainfall in some areas of America. The U. S. Agency for International Development (USAID) helped the residents of Puerto Cabezas. They delivered emergency relief supplies. The relief supplies consisted of 580 rolls of plastic sheeting, 875 blankets, and 480 hygiene kits. Those supplies have been distributed in 11 municipalities in the North Atlantic Autonomous Region (RAAN). The relief supplies also included 1,000 tenliter water containers, which U.S. military personnel delivered filled with water to four municipalities in the North Atlantic Autonomous Region, and 100 body bags, which were delivered to the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO). Helping those who are in need is really a great characteristic that a people or country must possess.
