Following the launch of the Regional Overview and Planned Response in early July, which initially requested US$9 million to assist 43,000 people, updated information revealed more extensive damage from Hurricane Beryl. In response, humanitarian partners, including UN Agencies and NGOs, have revised their strategies, increasing the support target to 56,600 people and adjusting financial needs to US$15.9 million. The updated plan outlines specific sector activities for both affected countries.
The ongoing response to Hurricane Beryl has seen significant progress, particularly in Grenada, where the United Nations Emergency Technical Team (UNETT) remains actively involved. UNETT continues to participate in National Emergency Operations Centre (NEOC) meetings, offering support and facilitating critical information exchange to ensure a coordinated response.
Key stakeholders, including Ministries, regional partners, and national disaster offices, held crucial Post-Disaster Needs Assessment (PDNA) meetings in both countries, with partners outlining their potential support levels to aid in the recovery efforts.
The UN Disaster Assessment and Coordination (UNDAC) teams have concluded their deployments, and the OCHA Barbados Humanitarian Advisory Team will now provide remote coordination and information management assistance, with support from OCHA’s Regional Office for Latin America and the Caribbean.
