Yes! Antigua and Barbuda have some support in the aftermath of storm Philippe. The Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS) has expressed its support for the island. The OECS Commission has expressed its deepest sympathy to the governments and people of Antigua and Barbuda and Guadeloupe, and has assured them of its full support during this difficult time.
The Commission is particularly concerned about the widespread flooding, power outages, and property damage caused by the storm. It understands and shares the pain of those who have suffered personal injury or loss of property. The OECS is committed to working with the governments and people of Antigua and Barbuda and Guadeloupe to overcome the challenges posed by this natural disaster. The Commission will provide all necessary assistance to help the two islands recover and rebuild.
The OECS is also calling on the international community to support Antigua and Barbuda and Guadeloupe in their recovery efforts. The OECS believes that a strong and united response is needed to help the two islands get back on their feet.
On the other hand, the United Nations had already launched a project (prior to Storm Philippe), which supports the island in the face of these disasters. The XCD 17.550.000 million project is destined for several Caribbean islands, to improve the systems that detect these meteorological accidents earlier. The organization believes that technological advances could help in the face of these phenomena that attack the Caribbean islands during several months of the hurricane season. This season runs from June to November each year.
