A preliminary damage assessment report for Tropical Storm Bret which passed over the north of St Vincent last week revealed that in addition to reports of houses being damaged, crops on the island were also heavily impacted.
Prime Minister Dr Ralph Gonsalves says Bret’s impact largely affected northeastern communities and some in the northwest, with 15 persons currently housed at the Owia Government School which is being used as an emergency shelter.
The island’s agriculture sector was not spared from Bret. Officers from the agriculture division conducted a rapid preliminary crop damage assessment, in which major impact was observed in northern locations and closer to coastal areas.
