Hurricane Beryl Damage Assessment Report Summary: Grenada

Hurricane Beryl inflicted $218M in direct economic damage to Grenada (16.5% of 2023 GDP) in July 2024, primarily affecting the islands of Carriacou and Petite Martinique. This GRADE assessment employs remote sensing and modeling, estimating highest damage ratios of 35-40% on these islands compared to 1.2% on the main island.

Key findings:

1. Carriacou accounted for 82% of total damage ($134.4M), with extreme infrastructure damage
2. Residential buildings (half total damage) and infrastructure (30% of damage) suffered most severe impacts
3. Nutmeg crops (critical export) were severely affected ($43.1M agricultural damage)
4. Socially vulnerable households face 15.3% annual consumption loss, with poorest quintile suffering 20% higher losses

The hurricane's path targeted western Grenada, avoiding southern exposures concentrated in 2004's Hurricane Ivan. Damage research shows minor structural improvements could reduce repair needs by 70%.

Recommendations:

• Prioritize resilient rebuilding standards for sheet metal-roofed housing
• Allocate 0.2%+ GDP for infrastructure maintenance
• Expand gender-responsive recovery programs
• Accelerate disaster-resilient agricultural restoration

The GRADE methodology provides timely, accurate initial damage estimates essential for recovery planning, to be refined by ground verifications.
