CRISIS IMPACT OVERVIEW
On 1 July, Hurricane Beryl made landfall in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines (SVG) as a
Category 4 hurricane, later evolving into a Category 5 hurricane boasting maximum sustained
winds of 270km/h (MOFA 08/07/2024; IFRC 06/07/2024; OCHA 09/07/2024). Although all areas of
SVG reported damages, the hurricane caused the most extensive damage in the southern
Grenadines Islands of Canouan, Mayreau, and Union, where it affected 90–100% of homes
(IOM 10/07/2024). There was less severe damage assessments on Saint Vincent island and
in the northern Grenadines islands, where assessments were ongoing as of 11 July (CDEMA
12/07/2024).
Roughly 36% of the total estimated population (110,872) of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines
have been potentially affected by the hurricane.
