This Global Rapid Post-Disaster
Damage Estimation (GRADE) report provides a synopsis of the
estimated direct economic damage in Grenada following the
passage of Hurricane Beryl. The report is based on a rapid
and remote post-disaster damage assessment that follows the
established GRADE methodology. Hurricane Beryl made landfall
on the island of Carriacou in Grenada as a high-end Category
4 hurricane on July 1, 2024. Wind speeds ranged from a
maximum of sustained winds of 150 mph (240 km/h), equivalent
to a Category 4 hurricane in Carriacou and Petite
Martinique, to Category 1 hurricane force winds in the
south-west of the main island of Grenada. The economic
damage estimates and the key findings are summarized. This
GRADE assessment is intended as a rapid remote estimate
prepared within a short timeframe to inform early
decision-making and is not intended as a substitute for
detailed on-the-ground analysis which may be conducted in
the weeks and months after an event. Various data sources
were reviewed for this assessment. The GRADE assessment
should be interpreted as a first-order estimation of direct
damages, with a significant degree of reliability. However,
GRADE’s outputs are still estimates - remote-based
calculations that are influenced by and updated from
available ground-based data. The objective of this report is
to provide an estimate of the direct economic damage to
physical assets caused by Hurricane Beryl in Grenada and to
provide information on the spatial distribution of damages
to support development of a roadmap for recovery and reconstruction.
