Hurricane Maria (2017) caused catastrophic damage to Dominica's housing sector, destroying or severely impairing over 90 percent of the island's homes. The government's interventions included rebuilding homes and critical infrastructure to withstand Category 5 hurricanes and enhancement of long-term resilience capacities against future climate shocks. The initiative focused on the most vulnerable households, especially those who lost homes in Hurricane Maria. The affected households received technical support for resilient housing repairs and roofing kits. Low-income families and women-headed households (with elderly and persons with disabilities) were prioritized. This intervention has benefitted more than 8,000 persons. The initiative was oriented to build the capacities for a resilient recovery, through strengthened institutional framework, improved housing standards and trained local labour. The intervention enhanced information management capacities, e.g., a mobile application for damage assessment of the affected buildings. Click to Read
