Fr. Carl Haynes, Vicar-General of the Diocese of St. George’s in Grenada, visited Food For The Poor’s Coconut Creek headquarters yesterday and shared how residents are recovering from Hurricane Beryl, which made landfall on Monday as a Category 4 storm in the island of Carriacou. Fr. Haynes said almost all of the housing on Carricou and Petit Martinque is damaged. FFTP has prepositioned relief items to respond and is close communication with its partners in the Lesser Antilles and assessing needs.

In the wake of Hurricane Beryl, my thoughts are with the people of the Grenadines. Rebuilding will undoubtedly be a long and challenging process. The Prime Minister's mention of the GRENLEC insurance/restoration fund is a positive step. GRENLEC stashed away 5% of its pretax profits as insurance. However, it raises a crucial point: financial preparedness for both businesses and individuals. The question of financial literacy is critical. Were small businesses and residents adequately prepared for this disaster? Did they have insurance, emergency funds, and recovery plans in place? Unfortunately, it's likely that many lacked these crucial safeguards. As we rebuild, let's prioritize financial resilience alongside climate resilience. A financially literate Caribbean population is essential for weathering future storms and ensuring a faster and stronger recovery.
2 weeks ago Hurricane Beryl devastated Carriacou, Petite Martinique and northern Grenada. Last week, I sat down with Prime Minister of Grenada, Dickon Mitchell to talk about the impact of the Category 4 Hurricane, the cost to Government and the rebuilding process with resilience in mind. Here's a short extract from our interview. Full Production on Hurricane Beryl's impact across the Caribbean coming this week. #ClimateCrisis #HurricaneBeryl

As Hurricane Helene barrels toward the Florida Panhandle, the American Red Cross is working closely with partners and officials across Florida and Georgia to finalize response plans and urges everyone to make their storm preparations now. The Red Cross is rapidly mobilizing some 275 trained disaster workers, truckloads of supplies and dozens of shelters to help people in Florida and Georgia in the face of Helene. Red Crossers are preparing dozens of evacuation shelters along the Florida Panhandle. More shelter teams are on stand-by in case they are needed. In addition to trailers of disaster supplies pre-positioned earlier this year, the Red Cross is preparing some 30,000 snacks and 15,000 ready-to-eat meals, as well as emergency response vehicles. Right now, communities are preparing for potentially life-threatening impacts. The Red Cross urgently needs the support of the public to plan for and respond to disasters. You can help by making a financial donation or an appointment to give blood or platelets by visiting redcross.org or calling 1-800-RED CROSS.

As climate change roars, all Caribbean nations must act with haste and review their building codes, with emphasis of concrete roofing. Further, ensure that utility companies set aside a percentage of their annual earnings; not necessarily as self-insurance but as an emergency fund to buffer their insurance coverages, especially in times of disaster. As the honorable Prime Minister Dickon Mitchell pointed out, underground cabling indeed a tumultuous task, that comes at a great expense, however, if governments consider making such an investment, the Return on Investment later could be beneficial for future generations.
