That same year, the Mexican government donated US$500 thousand, which were used by the Dominican government for the reconstruction of the sectors that were damaged as a result of the torrential rains that took place in 2013. In August 2015, Dominica suffered heavily from Tropical Storm Erika. As a result, Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto authorized the donation of US$250 thousand to Dominica.
