| description |
In November 2016, two tropical trough
systems produced heavy rains in Saint Vincent and the
Grenadines, which resulted in intense flooding across the
island chain. The torrential rains, ensuing flash flooding,
and landslides resulted in widespread damage to road,
bridges, water infrastructure, and housing. Our extreme
vulnerability to natural disasters and the impacts of
climate variability continues to be of grave concern. This
‘Saint Vincent and the Grenadines Rapid Damage and Loss
Assessment, November 9–11 and November 28, 2016 Floods’
Report serves as a reminder and proof of the Government’s
resolve and commitment to risk reduction as well as the
well-being of our people. The Government recognizes the
necessity to better understand our climate and disaster risk
context and is continuing the battle to reduce this risk and
improve resilience across all sectors. This report provides
a rapid damage and loss assessment of the affected sectors,
with focus on infrastructure damage to inform the
Government’s recovery, reconstruction, and financial
planning. It also includes short- and medium-term
recommendations designed to further incorporate disaster
risk reduction and management into land use and physical
planning decision-making processes so that we continue to
develop into a country that is more resilient to natural
disasters and climate change. |
