Abstract
In this special edition of Caribbean Report, the Regional Security System, PAHO and disaster response teams prepare to fly into Antigua to help clean up after hurricane Luis. So far, there are no reports of fatal injuries although there are many reports of extensive damages to some buildings and roads. Jean Louis Bordonado, who is in charge of PAHO Disaster Project for the Eastern Caribbean, comments on plans to send a team into Antigua and gives an assessment of the situation. In Antigua, Norman Thomas, the station manager of Antigua ABS, reports on the hurricane damages sustained and how Antiguans are bearing up. The scenes of the hurricane affected areas from Antigua to St. Martin are described. Antigua and Barbuda's Aviation Minister Robin Yearwood expresses concern about the storm and appeals to his CARICOM colleagues for immediate assistance. Meanwhile, meterology officials in the region are keeping close tabs on the movement of hurricane Luis.
