Tropical Cyclone |
Bahamas |
Category 2/3 Hurricane Irene passed over The Bahamas from August 23'" to August 26'h 2011. Moving across the entire archipelago, hurricane force winds and rain impacted the entire chain of islands causing damage and disrupting services in sorne islands. Hurricane Irene also passed over the Turks and Caicos Islands on August 24'h 2011 as a Category 1 hurricane resulting in damage.
Preliminary reports are that impact occurred on the Southern and Central Islands of Cat Island, Great Exuma, long Island, Crooked Island, and Eleuthera affecting up to 10,000 persons. There are no reports of deaths or injuries. Approximately 150 houses were damaged and an additional number of schools and public buildings receiving varying degree of damage. Several of the islands fisherman received wind damage to fishing boats and impacts on health systems were limited and did not disrupt health services. Most severe impact was caused by downed power lines to the electricity grid and an approximate 10,000 persons remain without power. Due to power outages, compounded impacts in food security and water systems which rely on consistent power are affected.
The disaster situation is expected to improve as power is restored gradually to the affected islands. Prior to the hurricane impacting The Bahamas, relatively high cases of dengue were present in main island of New Providence. Although other islands did not have the same dengue situation prior to the hurricane, there is a concern that additional water and lack of attention to the situation could increase dengue. |
