| description |
On 24th and 25th December, 2013 a
tropical trough system produced heavy rains in Saint Vincent
and the Grenadines (SVG). The ensuing rapid and intense
flash flooding resulted in severe damage and 9 confirmed
deaths with 3 persons still missing. Additionally, there was
widespread damage to road infrastructure, electricity and
water infrastructure, housing as well as public and private
buildings. This report serves as a reminder and proof of the
Government (Go) SVG's resolve and commitment to risk
reduction as well as the well-being of people. The GoSVG
recognizes the necessity to better understand the climate
and disaster risk context, and do best to reduce this risk
and improve resilience across all sectors. On December 26,
2013, the GoSVG declared a national level two disaster in
accordance with the National Emergency and Disaster
Management Act, 2006. This report provides a rapid damage
and loss assessment of the sectors affected - with a
particular focus on infrastructure damage in order to inform
the GoSVG'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 the authors
continue to develop into a country that is more resilient to
natural disasters and climate change. |
