Post Disaster Needs Assessment (PDNA) Floods due to Hurricane Lisa in Belize - Executive Summary

Hurricane Lisa made landfall about 10 miles south of Belize City near the mouth of the Sibun River as a Category 1 hurricane with maximum sustained winds of 85mph on Wednesday, November 2, 2022.

Hurricane Lisa, despite its relatively small size and Category 1 status, resulted in damage and loss comparable to larger and more powerful storms. It is important to determining the physical damages, economic losses, and costs of meeting recovery needs after a disaster, hence the purpose of this document. The Post Disaster Needs Assessment is a joint approach of assessing disaster effects and impacts to then determine priority recovery needs.
