‼️New analysis from the CrisisReady team of change in population density from Data for Good at Meta for the windward islands in the eastern #Caribbean impacted by #HurricaneBeryl 👉 Mobility data confirms significant reductions in internet service across St. Vincent and the Grenadines and Grenada starting overnight on the 1st of July. 🛜 According to data from Cloudflare (https://lnkd.in/gQQAx6wb) an outage event for both countries began at 14:00 UTC on July 1st. 👫 During this time period population densities of Facebook users declined by 60% to 80% relative to the 90-day pre-event baseline. ⚡ The outage across both countries is not 100% but until more data is available it is difficult to differentiate between population change and signal outage. Most areas of St. Lucia and Barbados have seen population density recover above baseline as of July 2nd, with the exceptions of Canaries and Soufriere, St. Lucia. ⚠️ Facebook baseline user population is reasonably well correlated with the Census population across all four countries, at the administrative unit 1 level, with an R2 value of .778. https://lnkd.in/gWdzeNDE Direct Relief Harvard Data Science Initiative
