Hurricane Beryl - Yesterday, my heart was aching as the storm Hurricane Beryl brought heavy winds and rain down on Jamaica. The storm’s powerful winds and relentless rain are threatening the beautiful southeast Windward Caribbean islands, bringing fear and uncertainty to so many. My thoughts and prayers are with everyone in its path, especially those who have lost their homes on the islands St. Vincent and the Grenadines, and Greneda. We continue to pray for the islands as the storm falls upon them and drives toward landfall in Mexico and the U.S. This devastating event also reminds us of the urgent need to address #climatechange, as this July storm is the earliest hurricane recorded in the Caribbean. The increasing frequency and intensity of such storms highlight the importance of raising awareness and taking action to protect our planet. The Caribbean islands, which bear the brunt of the impacts of climate change, need our support and commitment to a sustainable future. Stay strong and support each other during this challenging time.

The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies - IFRC, Grenada Red Cross Society, Barbados Red Cross Society and Jamaica Red Cross are responding to the devastating impacts of Hurricane Beryl. Climate change has likely played a significant role in the rapid intensification of storms like Beryl. The hotter-than-normal sea surface temperatures in the southern Atlantic and Caribbean are acting as a catalyst for storms, causing them to strengthen quickly into major hurricanes. The severity of the damages in the aftermath of the hurricane is tangible and, unfortunately, heartbreaking as hurricane season in the Caribbean is just beginning. Our Red Cross network is critical for these types of disasters. Our volunteers and staff are there before, during, and after these events. At this point, the needs are immense — food, shelter, water, clothing. At the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies - IFRC, we have launched an emergency appeal of CHF 4 million to provide humanitarian assistance to 25,000 people affected in Grenada, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Barbados and Jamaica for the next 12 months.

🌪 Hurricane Helene Update 🌪 As we closely monitor Hurricane Helene's path, we expect it to make landfall Thursday night ⏳. However, due to its unusual size, the storm’s impact will likely be felt much sooner.

This is the impact of human-created climate breakdown happening on the planet now. Hurricane Beryl is the most intense storm ever experienced in the Caribbean at this time of the year. We need to phase out fossil fuels now, not by 2035 or see other later date, to avoid more of this devastating destruction. https://lnkd.in/eaPcU-BF

Interesting what this could foreshadow for the rest of Hurricane Season.

Hurricane Beryl With wind gusts of up to 165 miles per hour, hurricane Beryl was a deadly and destructive Category 5 Atlantic hurricane that impacted several countries in the Caribbean region (FYI: Barbados, Windward Islands, Trinidad and Tobago, Venezuela, Hispaniola, Jamaica, Cayman Islands, Yucatan Peninsula and Central United States). Estimated losses are US$6 billion with twenty-eight fatalities. The people of the Caribbean region are strong and resilient! These were some of the sentiments expressed by people we spoke with during this challenging time. With everything that is taking place in the world today, now is the time for the Caribbean diaspora and region to come together as one to build a new future for tomorrow. We have had hurricanes in the past and will continue to see more in the future. In some cases, it takes years for some countries in the Caribbean to recover and rebuild their homes, communities, economies, and lives. Let us not forget the power of the diaspora to overcome challenges and pave a new way in times of stress, loss, and uncertainty. The Caribbean Returning Nationals Foundation is a trusted partner and gateway into the affairs and activities of the region. We can work with large, medium, and micro businesses to help with their recovery plans to ensure stability, profitability, and sustainability. Small family-owned businesses play a vital role in bringing homes and communities together.

I have been closely following the developments of Hurricane Milton in the Gulf of Mexico, and it’s truly unprecedented! Residents have been warned of life-threatening storm stages that could reach 15 feet, which is about 3 times the average human height. This is the first time the region, which houses more than 3 million people is seeing a direct hit from a major hurricane in over a century. This morning, the hurricane reached a maximum sustained speed of 250km/h slightly shy of a stage 5 hurricane. Remember hurricane Catrina, of similar magnitude, resulted in more than 1700 fatalities in the USA in 2005 Residents around Tampa Bay where the hurricane is expected to make landfall are fleeing in hundreds of thousands since mandatory evacuations have been called for. Hurricane Milton serves as another reminder that climate change is a reality we cannot ignore, and Africa is no exception. At this point, Africa needs to answer the following questions: - How prepared are we to establish effective early warning systems? -How resilient is our infrastructure in the face of these devastating events? -How engaged and empowered are our communities to respond to climate-related emergencies? #HurricaneMilton #DisasterManagement #ClimateChange #WeatherAlert CNN BBC News
