🌪️ In the heart of the hurricane belt, storms are getting stronger — but so is resilience.

When Hurricane Beryl struck the Caribbean in June 2024 as a record-breaking Category 4 storm, Barbados stood strong:
✅ Only six homes damaged
✅ Zero lives lost

How? Through early warnings that worked.

Barbados leveraged a multi-hazard early warning system, powered by the #EarlyWarningsForAll initiative and shaped by lessons from past disasters like Hurricane Ivan (2004), to deliver coordinated, life-saving action.
