Dorian strikes Bahamas as record stormDorian made landfall over Bahamas as a category 5 hurricane on Elbow Cay in the Abacos (pop. 17,200) with windspeeds of 185mph, becoming the strongest hurricane on record for the Bahamas.

During its path of destruction, Dorian slowed to a crawl over Grand Bahama (pop. 51,000), remaining nearly stationary for some 36 hours before clearing out towards the south-eastern United States on 3 September.

Shortly after the Government of The Bahamas issued the all-clear on 4 September, pre-deployed teams were able to verify their initial flyover reports of catastrophic damage to homes, businesses and infrastructure across Abaco and Grand Bahama.

ABACOAbaco, the most severely affected island, suffered thousands of flattened homes, downed power lines and damaged roads and water wells. Abaco residents were left badly in need of water, electricity, sanitation and shelter. Dorian all but destroyed two Central Abaco settlements of mostly undocumented migrants, creating a particular set of vulnerabilities in those communities.

Dorian also affected critical infrastructure in Abaco, causing varying degrees of damage to the majority of Abaco’s health centers and to Marsh Harbour, Abaco’s main port, as well as the Marsh Harbour airport, which was left underwater. Dorian also leveled the Power and Light office and knocked out nearly all of the Bahamas Telecommunications Company’s (BTC) towers.

GRAND BAHAMAGrand Bahama suffered considerable damage as well, with the eastern part of the island bearing the brunt of Dorian’s destruction, including the near-complete destruction of the High Rock community.

Parts of Grand Bahama took on massive flooding, with Dorian leaving Grand Bahama International Airport underwater and flooded roads and bridges. Homes between Freetown and Deep Water Cay suffered varying degrees of damage. Dorian also caused damage to oil refinery infrastructure that led to isolated oil spills inland.

As with Abaco, Dorian caused damage to Grand Bahama infrastructure; the Freeport airport was completely flooded, various seaports in East Grand Bahama were rendered inoperable and most health centers suffered varying degrees of damage, including

the total destruction of three health centers and flooding at the island’s main hospital that prompted emergency evacuations.

PRIORITY NEEDSConsidering the extensive damages and access constraints, NEMA and assessment teams established safe water, food, health care and shelter as priority needs. Authorities were especially concerned with water, due to the state of water supply systems after the storm, saltwater intrusion into freshwater supply networks brought on by storm surge and flooding and damage to water storage and distribution systems. Moreover, PAHO identified the high risk of diseases potentially brought on by the combination of stagnant floodwater, contamination from sewage and lack of access to safe water.

The Government of the Bahamas issued an Immediate Assistance Supplies List on 4 September detailing specific support needed for reconstruction and recovery needs, including portable generators, chainsaws and debris removal tools such as shovels, rakes and wheelbarrows.

With the support of private sector and military air and sea transport, Bahamas authorities were able to evacuate thousands of people from Abaco and Grand Bahama to the main island of New Providence, home to the national capital of Nassau. Evacuees in Nassau filled some 13 shelters to capacity, a scenario that generated its own set of needs including health, psychosocial support, WASH,

protection, information on available services and non-food items (NFIs).

LONGER-TERM OUTLOOKLooking ahead to the medium- and long-term consequences of Dorian’s impact, UNDP identified the need to support the repair of damaged buildings with building-back-better principles. UNICEF and education partners noted that the successful re-integration of children evacuees into educational activities will require school-based psychosocial support, with training required for key education staff to enable these services.

With damage to several of the 25 health centers and hospitals on Abaco and Grand Bahama, the full restoration of essential health services, such as medical care delivery, quality of water, proper sanitation and hygiene, and vector control is likely to remain a priority need. Additionally, environmental risks are a key area of concern. Response teams and authorities prioritized a comprehensive strategy for disaster waste management to deal with building debris, fallen trees and hazardous waste.

One month on from Dorian, fuel and water remain major needs in Abaco. The Bahamas Water and Sewerage Corporation (WSC) has not yet declared the water supply in Abaco as safe for consumption or domestic use. The Government and remaining partners are providing water and generators to Abaco communities.

As many as 5,500 people from Abaco and Grand Bahama were evacuated to Nassau, with some 1,500 people now located across seven shelters. Some 52 people remain in two Grand Bahama shelters. Abaco shelters have been discontinued over lack of usage.

Coordination proves essential to responseResponse presence in Abaco, Grand Bahama and Nassau in support of the NEMA quickly scaled up, making effective coordination among various humanitarian actors critical to effective response.

OCHA has been at the heart of supporting coordination functions among response actors, creating and promoting various tools and mechanisms to allow partners to provide updates and information on their presence and response activities.

Response to Dorian’s catastrophic aftermath was swift, with actors from the UN, NGOs, donors, the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement and private sector all providing support to the Government of The Bahamas, who led the overall response through NEMA and in coordination with the Caribbean Disaster Emergency Management Agency (CDEMA).

NEMA led the coordination of the emergency response, with support from CDEMA and OCHA, from its Nassau-based National

Emergency Operations Centre (NEOC). Through the NEOC, NEMA worked in close coordination with NGOs, donors and UN agencies. NEMA also activated its Emergency Support Functions (ESF) humanitarian coordination structure, composed of 15 ESFs with their own lead ministries or departments to align response functions between relevant stakeholders. International humanitarian partners promptly designated focal points for each ESF to further align response and coordination efforts.

NEMA established two local EOCs, one in Marsh Harbour (Abaco) and one in Freeport (Grand Bahama) with the support of OCHA and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) to coordinate relief operations among the more than 110 organizations responding to Dorian. CDEMA provided additional support by deploying CARICOM Operational Support Teams (COSTs) to each EOC.

OCHA convened daily coordination meetings with response actors and organizations to address priority concerns and challenges in responding to the needs of affected people in the Bahamas.

Full-scale response to full-scale damage Response to Dorian began before the record storm made landfall, with pre-deployments that allowed for immediate assessments and supply delivery prior to the arrival of more than 340 response personnel

Between NGOs, bilateral support, the private sector, the Red Cross Movement and UN agencies, more than 40 organizations were in The Bahamas by 10 September, less than a week after Dorian cleared Grand Bahama.

4

Prior to the storm, Bahamas requested CDEMA to pre-deploy multi-agency Rapid Needs Assessment Teams (RNATs) to kickstart assessments and response immediately after the all-clear was given.

The Government-led response, supported by UN agencies, humanitarian organizations and military assets, initially dealt with several logistics and access constraints to reach the affected islands and begin deploying resources and staff. Following the gradual restoration of seaport and airport access on both Abaco and Grand Bahama, response actors began delivering critical assistance and reaching isolated areas to carry out more detailed assessments.

INTERNATIONAL SUPPORTInternational military assets were among the first to respond, with the United States Coast Guard assisting the Royal Bahamas Defence Force in evacuating people prior to and after the storm. In the immediate aftermath, NEMA identified search and rescue/recovery operations, road and debris clearance, clean-up of Marsh Harbour and relief supply and distribution in Abaco as priority military support actions.

The US Coast Guard and military supported with Urban Search and Rescue, transport and humanitarian assistance. The US armed forces also provided daily flights for assessments.

Through the RFA Mounts Bay ship, the United Kingdom delivered some 25,000 liters of water and around 1,000 shelter kits, mostly on northern Abaco, while also removing debris, clearing roads and providing medical assistance and helicopter transport for assessments.

The Netherlands also provided assistance through the HNLMS Johan de Witt and the HNLMS Snellius, transporting 550 Dutch troops and 50 French and German troops apiece, providing support for engineering, water, medical and infrastructure assistance, as well as air and sea transport.

The Jamaican Defence Force and the Trinidad and Tobago Defence Force each provided more than 100 troops to support security and engineering as well.

HUMANITARIAN RESPONSEInternational humanitarian presence in The Bahamas grew shortly after the storm, first concentrating in Nassau and later expanding to Abaco and Grand Bahama once access constraints were overcome to allow full support to local EOCs.

Organizations were able to deliver assistance, including (but not limited to):

• More than 14,000 WFP meals-ready-to eat (MREs) across Abaco

• Emergency Medical Teams (EMT) staffed by International Medical Corp and Samaritan’s Purse deploying to Abaco and Grand Bahama

• A UNICEF-led delivery of more than 400,000 water purification tablets in Grand Bahama

• PAHO/WHO trauma kits and medical supplies.

• More than 1,000 shelter kits from the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC)

• UNDP-supported building damage assessments.

• WFP mobile storage units and logistics hubs set up in Marsh Harbour, among others activities.

The Government of the Bahamas announced on 16 September that it would shift response management to recovery, to be coordinated by NEMA with the Royal Bahamas Police Force and the Royal Bahamas Defence Force, noting that there was no longer an immediate threat to people’s lives.

WATER ACCESS - GRAND BAHAMA

WATER, SANITATION & HYGIENEDorian contaminated aquifers anddamaged pumping stations on Abaco and Grand Bahama, causing significant damage to water distribution systems. Consequently, families had limited access to safe drinking water, sanitation facilities and solid waste

management. Additionally, the limited access to sanitation and bathing facilities posed significant risk to health.

While humanitarian actors delivered WASH supplies such as water purification tablets, jerry cans, collapsible water containers and water tanks, response efforts sought to restore electrical infrastructure and power to well fields in Abaco and Grand Bahama.

The Bahamas Water and Sewerage Corporation (WSC) has not yet declared the water supply in Abaco as safe for consumption or domestic use. The Government and remaining partners are providing water and generators to Abaco communities.

FOOD SECURITYImmediate food needs were quickly identified and met through the Government and assistance from various humanitarian actors. Food security response was particularly concerned with the level of destruction in Abaco and its impact on affected residents’

access to food and the initial logistical challenges in delivering food assistance.

In the short-term, MRE distribution and on-site preparation and distribution of hot meals was critical for food security response. NEMA’s Food Security ESF has since requested strategic guidance on transitioning form immediate food relief to longer-term food security such as cash assistance.

Although access to food in Abaco remains a priority, humanitarian actors continue to cover food security needs through in-kind donations to NEMA, hot meals from NGOs and food assistance from humanitarian partners such as WFP, who are supporting the Government in defining food distribution sites across Abaco.

HEALTHDorian left behind extensive damages to healthcare centers across Abaco and Grand Bahama, including the total destruction of the High Rock clinic in Grand Bahama – as of 26 September, five of 11 clinics in Grand Bahama and two of nine clinics in Abaco

remain non-operational. There is limited operational capacity in four of 11 clinics in Grand Bahama and six of nine in Abaco.

PAHO immediately noted the risk posed by stagnant floodwaters and potential sewage contamination, as well as the high likelihood of increased mosquito breeding and the consequent risk of vector-borne diseases. Moreover, UNAIDS estimates that more than half of the 6,000 people in The Bahamas living with HIV were located in areas affected by Dorian. UNFPA noted the need to provide information on sexual and reproductive health (SRH) at shelters, as well.

Emergency Medical Teams (EMTs) staffed by Samaritan’s Purse, Team Rubicon and NYC Medics, among others, deployed to fill in gaps in care delivery and help restore as much operational functionality as possible to damaged healthcare centers. The Ministry of Health began to carry out epidemiological surveillance activities in hospitals and shelters. Partners such as IFRC and UNFPA also provided support with key public health messaging, psychosocial support and SRH kits.

SHELTERThe damage or destruction of homes caused by Dorian immediately caused a massive need for shelter, both for the more than 5,000 people evacuated to Nassau and those that remained in Abaco and Grand Bahama. The Government of the Bahamas issued

an Immediate Assistance Supplies List on 4 September detailing specific support needed for shelters, including tents, cots, blankets, tarpaulin, portable stoves and cleaning supplies. IOM reports that many are sheltering in clinics and require relocation. CDEMA immediately began prioritizing the allocation of space for emergency shelter solutions and are exploring options with UN teams to find short-term solutions while CDEMA works to secure longer-term solutions.

With Nassau hosting as many as 2,000 sheltered people across 13 shelters near or at capacity, the Department of Environmental Health Services conducted environmental health and food safety assessments. As shelter occupancy increased, so did needs for WASH supplies, health staff, medical supplies and protection interventions. Seven shelters in New Providence and two in Grand Bahama remain open as of 30 September, housing some 1,500 people and 52 people, respectively - Abaco shelters were discontinued over lack of usage.

Partners such as USAID, IFRC, IOM and others contributed to the Government-led ESF for mass care and shelter, providing shelter kits and tarpaulin kits and shelter management support, as well as various other NFIs such as dignity kits and blankets. IOM deployed their Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) as well.

PROTECTIONThe effects of Dorian further strained existing community-based and protection support systems. Affected people in shelters required psychosocial support and treatment. With Dorian leaving thousands of people vulnerable, humanitarian actors

identified Gender-based violence (GBV) prevention and risk mitigation strategies, including referral pathway, standard operating procedures (SOPs), awareness-raising and Information, Education and Communication (IEC) dissemination for the affected population, particularly women and girls and other at-risk groups, as critical needs.

Protection staff contributed to response efforts in various ways. UNHCR conducted needs assessment at shelters. UNICEF supported child protection services for 1,200 children in shelters and a training-for-trainers on psychosocial support. UNFPA led GBV prevention and response activities, including development of long-term strategies with State officials.

EARLY RECOVERYDebris removal and waste management were top priorities for both Abaco and Grand Bahama, including quantification and sorting, asset mapping, identification of storage sites and management strategies. Military support proved crucial in restoring

access and rehabilitating key infrastructure assets.

The Ministry of Public Works quickly carried out Building Damage Assessments with support from UNDP and Engineers Without Borders. The Ministry of Environment and Housing developed debris and waste management strategies as well. UNDP identified support for the repair of damaged buildings ensuring building-back-better principle as a key longer-term need. UNDP is working with CARICOM and CDEMA on recovery assessments as well.

UNDP is working to guarantee technical assistance and promote environmentally sustainable infrastructure. Recognizing that Dorian’s impact is part of the larger trend of escalating impacts related to changing climate patterns, UNDP is also working with national authorities to develop national and local capacities for risk reduction and recovery.

EDUCATIONDorian’s impact also included damage to school infrastructure, equipment and loss of school records in Grand Bahama and Abaco. With their estimates that at least 10,000 children require access to learning in the wake of Dorian, UNICEF quickly identified

the need to equip children to cope with the emotional distress caused by the disaster.

To this end, UNICEF supported the Ministry of Education in training more than 60 school counsellors and school psychologists in Nassau, as well as kickstarting a series of training-of-trainers to equip more than 250 school counsellors and teachers across all of The Bahamas with the required skills and knowledge to provide psychosocial support to children evacuees and children in host communities. UNICEF also supported the Ministry of Education with other priorities such as recreation supplies for 42 public Nassau schools, repair works for four schools in Grand Bahama, and registering 10,000 students ages 4-19 into new schools.

LOGISTICSThe destruction caused by Dorian to logistics infrastructure on Abaco and Grand Bahama was among the first and most pressing challenges that NEMA and humanitarian actors faced, with Abaco posing the biggest challenge of the

two scenarios. Prior to the restoration of access via air or sea, WFP identified challenges in organizing and determining which partners wished to transport supplies, the nature and volume of the supplies and the operational capacity in Marsh Harbour, Abaco’s main point of entry and access for supply distribution.

Given the response’s structural dependence on working logistics operations, CDEMA requested that WFP provide eight Mobile Storage Units (MSUs), four generators, six prefabricated offices and five VSATs to address logistical and telecommunications gaps where needed. WFP later established logistics and supply chain hubs in Marsh Harbour and provided support for NEMA and CDEMA in coordinating arrangements for charter vessels, transport assets and last mile delivery as needed. WFP continues to provide warehousing and trucking services in Abaco as a common service to partners and will expand NEMA storage capacities in Nassau with an MSU.

Partners such as IFRC, the UK through the Department of International Development (DFID) and USAID all contributed to logistics efforts as well - IFRC coordinated with local authorities to allocate warehousing, UK provided transport support from the RFA Mounts Bay, and USAID transporting more than 147 metric tons of humanitarian cargo.

EMERGENCY TELECOMMUNICATIONSDorian caused severe damage to telecommunications infrastructure, completely cutting off various locations and causing major interruptions to Abaco and Grand Bahama. Emergency Telecommunications Sector (ETS) partners such as WFP, Télécoms Sans

Frontières (TSF), NetHope and private sector partners supported NEMA’s Communications ESF from 7-22 September, working to address the Government’s main priority to recover BTC and Aliv (the two main Mobile Network Operators in the country) coverage in Abaco and Grand Bahama.

The ETS also addressed other communications gaps including the coordination of information and communications technology (ICT) activities in the response community and providing reliable internet services to the humanitarian community and affected populations in Marsh Harbour and at the NEMA training centre in Nassau.

By 26 September, Aliv fully restored their mobile towers in Abaco and eastern Grand Bahama. BTC has restored close to 20 per cent of their coverage in Abaco and 41 per cent of their coverage in Grand Bahama. To fill existing gaps in affected areas, NetHope installed more than 32 emergency telecommunications networks at relief and food distribution points, Government facilities, health facilities and shelter. WFP is implementing the ETS transition plan to hand over services to NEMA and phase out ETS presence.
