Lessons From the Past Due to the devastation caused by the passage of Hurricane Tomas on October 30, 2010 several communities and their infrastructure are now known to be very vulnerable to flooding and ground failure.

TOMAS BECAME A HURRICANE IN ONE DAY: OCTOBER 30, 2010

Recognizing the danger Tomas represented to locations in the eastern Caribbean, Haiti, and possibly the Gulf of Mexico, all nations were advised to pay close attention to Tomas’ path during the first week of November..

In the eastern Caribbean, Tomas left at least 14 dead, many homeless, and island nations suffering from millions of dollars in damages to banana crops, housing, and infrastructure from wind, flooding, and landslides

Tomas, a CAT 2 storm, was the “the worst in Saint. Lucian history,” causing the loss of its entire banana crop, which along with tourism, is extremely important to Saint Lucia’s economy..

TOMAS: IMPACTS SAINT LUCIA

Flooding: Key Impacts The Ministry of Health activated their Emergency Preparedness Protocols and evacuated the Soufriere Hospital.
