Antigua & Barbuda US$ 6,794,875 EC$ 18,346,163<\/p>

Total US$ 15,618,578 EC$ 42,170,161<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

CCRIF is verifying the payout calculations and is in discussion with the three governments about making arrangements for transfer of these payouts, which will be completed within 14 days after the event \u2013 as mandated by CCRIF\u2019s operational guidelines. <\/p>\n

Anguilla and St. Kitts & Nevis also have Excess Rainfall (XSR) policies and CCRIF is assessing if these policies were triggered by the rains from Hurricane Irma, which may possibly result in a second payout under those policies.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The assessment under the XSR policies will be determined in the next few days. <\/p>

Hurricane Irma, now recognized as the most powerful Atlantic Ocean hurricane in recorded history, passed through the Leeward Islands as a Category 5 hurricane with maximum sustained winds of 185 mph (300 km\/h) and intense rainfall. Irma remains a strong storm and CCRIF continues to monitor the hurricane as it passes through the northern Caribbean and is also following the path of Tropical Cyclone Jose. CCRIF urges Caribbean residents and visitors in the projected path of these two storms to take continued precautions as it makes its way through the region.<\/p>\n
