- Clean-up operations continue on Petite Martinique, Carriacou and mainland (northern Grenada); focus is on clean up in Carriacou and Petite Martinique.
- Steady progress with restoration of electricity on both Petite Martinique and Carriacou, with support from regional teams; almost 100% has been restored on the mainland.
- Airport terminal building on Carriacou has been repaired; SVG Air has resumed flights, with occasional chartered flights.
- The Guyana Defence Force continues to support the repair of roofs and assist with schools and other buildings.
- Transportation of goods among the islands is a challenge, both the availability and cost. New vessels may have to be introduced to assist.
