Dec 2019, Hurricane Dorian's blow to the Bahamas: 74 confirmed dead, 282 still missing after 4 years. A staggering $3.4B in losses and damages. A grim reminder of Dorian's enduring impact.

The storm left over 70,000 people homeless and resulted in over $3.4 billion in damages, about a quarter of the Bahamas’ GDP (IOM, 2019.; IDB, 2020).
