The impact of hurricane Ivan in the Cayman Islands
The advent of Hurricane Ivan and its tragic and devastating consequences in the Cayman Islands and particularly in the Grand Cayman puts a strain on the economy and fiscal pressures on Government. The consequences of Ivan pose the need beyond the humanitarian response, for a rapid assessment of the damage (impact on assets) and losses (effects on economic and social flows) to determine its macroeconomic, social and environmental consequences and its implications for the country's fiscal stance. At the request of the Cayman Islands Government and with the support of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) such assessment was undertaken by an ECLAC-led mission in accordance to its well-established and accepted disaster evaluation methodology.
