Hurricane Beryl hit Saint Vincent and the Grenadines and Grenada on 1 July as a Category 4 hurricane, increasing to a Category 5 thereafter. This makes it the earliest Category 5 Atlantic hurricane on record, and among the worst storms to hit both countries since recordkeeping began in 1851. Over 80,000 people were potentially affected by Hurricane Beryl across Grenada and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, and nearly 60,000 people are estimated to be in need of humanitarian assistance.
The response to Hurricane Beryl is led by the Governments of the affected countries, with support from the Caribbean Disaster Emergency Management Agency (CDEMA) and international partners. In support of the Government-led and regional relief efforts, humanitarian partners are ramping up lifesaving and life-sustaining assistance. The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) has published a Regional Overview and Planned Response plan that outlines the strategic objectives, timeline, and priority activities by sector.
This briefing note provides guidance on how businesses can contribute to the humanitarian efforts underway.
