The aftermath of Hurricane Ian in Fort Myers Beach and Sanibel Island is devastating. Abandoned lots and damaged buildings serve as a stark reminder of the destructive power of natural disasters. Remember to document property damage safely with photographs and videos, while avoiding potential dangers like downed power lines.

The recent Hurricane Beryl devastated the Caribbean islands, particularly Grenada. The storm marked the earliest occurrence of such a powerful hurricane, causing extensive destruction and highlighting the urgent need for effective disaster response and community support. The resilience and preparedness of the affected regions were tested, emphasizing the importance of swift recovery efforts and the solidarity of global support. The aftermath of Hurricane Beryl also underscored the severe economic and emotional toll on the affected regions. Let’s take a closer look at its impact on the route it took #HurricaneBeryl #ClimateChange #DisasterResponse #CommunityResilience #SupportAndRecovery #Caribbean #Caribbeanislands #Latinamerica #Southamerica #America #Parametricinsurance

All things about Hurricane Beryl have had me in deep thought for much of this week, from how quickly it developed, to how can any one island nation truly prepare for a cyclone of this size that spans several countries as Beryl did? More times than not, there is not a place on the island where one is completely unaffected by the impact, so we all hunker down and hope for the best. However, each time the Caribbean faces devastation the resilience and camaraderie amongst our people are exemplified, as we often look beyond our individual needs to assist those with greater losses. Individually, our voices and plight can easily be drowned out by all the other devastating events occurring worldwide, but it's for this reason, I am grateful for regional institutions that advocate for us on the world stage and coordinate our efforts like CARICOM: Caribbean Community , Caribbean Disaster Emergency Management Agency (CDEMA) and many other agencies. Let's not allow the challenging days ahead for the people of St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Grenada, Barbados, St. Lucia, Jamaica and the other countries impacted by Hurricane Beryl to be forgotten when the international news cycle move on. We would be rebuilding for years to come. Vincentians and other Caribbean nationals near and far let's do our best to support the efforts at home in whatever way we can. Let's continue to Rally round the West Indies.

In the wake of Hurricane Maria in 2017, #PuertoRico relied on Hexagon's orthoimagery as the pre-disaster baseline data set to fully assess the damage and deploy emergency resources. The high-resolution #aerialimagery was critical in determining the exact extent and location of infrastructure destruction in the first steps of the long road to recovery. Today, Puerto Rico continues to leverage the Hexagon Content Program in daily operations and in preparation for future Caribbean hurricanes. ➡️ Read the full case study on our blog: https://hxgn.biz/3tYSXiT PRXtreme, Corp. #disasterrecovery #emergencymanagement #disasterresponse
