Former Premier Wayne Panton launched an appeal to the RA IV Hurricane Committee, a regional body of hurricane specialists, in 2023 to have the Cayman Islands considered a priority for the programme of surge inundation modelling, in part due to the very high vulnerability of the islands to surge.
“The acceptance of my request to be included with Jamaica in this critically important modelling gave me much comfort that our plans to improve safe evacuation routes, improve storm water management to protect neighbourhoods and of critical importance, to build resiliency in this country could be made stronger with that data,” he said.
“I hope that the situation can be resolved such that the benefits to us become a reality. It is of critical importance for our small country.”
