I experienced a landslide
I’ve taken steps to get ready for hurricanes. First, I made an emergency plan so my family knows where to go and what to do. I fixed up our house, putting up storm shutters and tying down things in the yard. I packed a kit with water, food, and medicine.
On July 8, 2024, Hurricane Emilia, a Category 4 storm, struck the capital city of Roseau, Dominica, causing widespread devastation. The hurricane brought sustained winds of 140 mph, torrential rain, and severe flooding, impacting both infrastructure and the local population.
