Assessment of Damages and Needs
Second Report
Executive Summary
The Damage Assessment Committee has completed a rapid assessment of the effects of
Hurricane Keith on the economic infrastructure and services as well as the transportation
network and social infrastructure. Social and general public services particularly as it relates to
responding to the disaster have not yet been incorporated in this report. Based on aerial and site
surveys, and on assessments received from the various sectors, the latest estimate of the value of
damages and losses is placed at about $521.9 mn. In addition, a valuation of not less than $50.0
mn has been placed on the cost of measures taken and anticipated (over the short term) to
respond to the crisis and to alleviate the
negative effects of the Hurricane’s impact.
The sector analyses so far indicate that the
areas that were mostly affected were the
agricultural sector and the tourism industry. A
summary of these damages can be found at
Table 2, with further details in Table A of the
Appendix to this report. These figures are still
preliminary will be revised based on further
ongoing detailed and expanded assessments.
Background
Tropical Depression (TD) No. 15, which
formed off the tip of Honduras on Thursday,
Western Eyewall of Hurricane Keith over Ambergris
Caye, Belize
28 September, developed into Tropical Storm
Page 1 of 20
Keith by 4.00 p.m. of the following day but at the time did not pose any immediate threat to
Belize. During the next 36 hours TS Keith rapidly developed into a Category 4 hurricane with
maximum sustained winds of 135 miles per hour. During this period (Sunday and Monday)
Hurricane Keith stagnated over the islands of San Pedro and Caye Caulker before eventually
crossing the mainland near Maskall, gradually weakening as it made its way northwest towards
Mexico.
Following an indication of the

Nature of Damages
There are three elements to this disaster. Firstly, extensive infrastructure damage was caused by
excessive wind and storm surge, mainly along the coast. Secondly, environmental damages
and losses in crops, livestock and physical infrastructure were sustained as a result of
accompanying torrential rains and flood. In the third instance, the destruction of homes from
Page 2 of 20
both the direct onset of the Hurricane and the floods have caused the displacement of thousands
of persons, and it is anticipated that many of these persons who are dependent on subsistence
and commercial farming, are facing at least two to four months of interruption in economic
and productive activity.
Picture 1: Aerial view of damages in San Pedro
Extent of Damages
The current valuation of costs and damages associated with these two events—the passage of
Hurricane Keith and the resulting floods--stand at some $571.9mn. This figure can be broken
down into three elements. The first of these, the direct cost of responding to the crisis, that is the
mobilization to effect clean-up and temporary stabilization of transportation and
communication infrastructure, is expected to exceed $40.0 mn. The second element consists
mainly of losses in agriculture and infrastructure; and this has been calculated at some $521.9
mn. A summary of these losses can be found at Table 1 below, with further details in Table A of
the appendix. The third element is attributed to the social needs that arise out of displacement
Page 3 of 20
due to both the wind damage and storm surge during the Hurricane and the consequent floods.
Estimates in this regard stand at some $10.0 mn in a worse case scenario (see Appendix).

Table 1: Summary of Damages to the Various Sectors
I. Economic Infrastructure
The preliminary estimate of damages to this sector suggests losses of $28.8 mn. The most
affected was the energy sub-sector.
a. Energy
Major damages were experienced in the Belize District, namely in San Pedro Town and in the
village of Caye Caulker. There was also power failure in the Orange Walk District as a result of
the flooding.
Page 4 of 20
All 11 feeders in Belize City were badly damaged during the storm. Damages consisted of
broken high voltage and low voltage poles, damaged transformers, torn high voltage and low
voltage conductors, damaged streetlights and damages to low voltage services.
The Belize Electricity Limited estimate damages in San Pedro to be 100% of its transmission and
distribution network was 75% of its metering and services component. The majority of the lines
were blown down and transformers torn off the poles. On some feeders, the high voltage and
low voltage conductors broke in several places. Streetlights were in most cases torn off the
poles. The control room for the 34.5/22 kV substation was extensively damaged and the
communication tower will require sand blasting and painting. Some of the equipment and
generators suffered water damage while the finishing of breakers and power transformers were
greatly affected.

In Caye Caulker, 100% of its generation, distribution and metering and services network were
destroyed. Of the 200 poles in Caye Caulker, it is estimated that 60% were on the ground. Many
Page 5 of 20
high voltage poles broke in three. Most transformers were broken, weather heads torn off the
buildings and the majority of streetlights were torn from the poles. The main underground feeder
riser pole to the two feeders was severely damaged and fell to the ground. Three caterpillar
generating units along with most of the feeder and generating switchgears were damaged. Due
to the extensive damages, it is foreseen that the entire distribution system will need to be rebuilt.
Though not all the poles fell, the standing poles will need to be removed and replanted deeper in
the ground.
The replacement cost of the damages to the Belize Electricity Limited power system is estimated
at $8.7 mn. Restoration work has already begun and it is expected that full restoration will be
completed by the end of November.
b. Water & Sanitation
Water supply, one of the lifeline services in any disaster, was also severely disrupted due to the
hurricane. Both islands were hard hit and initial cost to restore facilities will be in the region of
$4.1 mn.
The Water and Sewerage Authority (WASA) provides both water and sewerage services to the
residents of San Pedro. The water is produced by reverse osmosis from a plant that is privately
owned. The water from this plant is sold to WASA under a purchasing agreement and re-sold to
residents. WASA operates and maintains the entire water distribution network consisting of
water mains, secondary mains and some 1,300 service connections. WASA also operates and
maintains the entire sewer collection and treatment system. The sewer system is comprised of a
network of collection pipes, one primary lift station plus five auxiliary ones and two facultative
lagoons.
In San Pedro, the damages sustained were primarily to the sewer collection system and the
distribution system. The distribution main received minor damages while the secondary main
was severely damaged. The panels of all lift stations were severely damaged while the office
building suffered from damages to the roof.
Page 6 of 20
The importance of providing potable water to avoid diseases continues to be top priority.
Additional complications on San Pedro include the need to replace parts for the desalination
plant and to restore the operations of the pump, which cannot be run since power is not yet fully
restored. The inability to restore the pumps in turn threatens to compromise the sewer system
since residences are using their amenities. The interim measures being taken to address this
issue is the installation of generators to power the pumps, which have been transported to the
island.
In Belize City, WASA provides both water and sewerage services and water only to residents of
Burrell Boom, Ladyville, Vista Del Mar, and all residents along the Northern Highway. WASA
operates and maintains the entire water production and treatment distribution network consisting
of water mains, secondary mains and some 15,000 service connections. WASA also operates
and maintains the entire sewer collection

and sewer ponds were also damaged.
c. Telecommunications
Preliminary reports from BTL indicate that the most affected area in terms of damages was San
Pedro and Caye Caulker. In San Pedro BTL lost its tower (this collapsed atop BEL sub-station
and precipitated the interruption of electricity during the storm), switches and the entire
transmission and distribution network. Consequently, the entire network for these two areas will
need to be totally reconstructed at an estimated cost of $3.5 mn. It is expected that the tower and
Page 7 of 20
the switch will be installed within one month and the distribution networks targeted for
completion by the end of November so as to minimize the effect on the tourism industry.
d. Airports, Airstrips, Ports and Piers
Transportation by land, sea and air were adversely affected by the excessive rains but were
restored within three days except in heavily flooded rural areas. Phillip Goldson International
airport suffered minimal flood damage resulting mainly in loss of revenue due to the five day
closure.
It is estimated that approximately 90% of the piers at both San Pedro and Caye Caulker were
severely damaged while the damages to the remaining 10% were minimal.
II. Economic Services
The preliminary assessment of total damages in agriculture amounts to $115.0 mn, whilst that of
tourism amounts to $120.2 mn. At this point it is clear that environmental damages will be quite
significant, however, intense analysis will be required to quantify these damages.
After
discussion with the concerned authorities, a valuation of some $50.0 mn is considered to be the
minimum cost that will be incurred from environmental damage.
a. Agriculture
The districts of Belize, Orange Walk and Corozal are suffering from excessive flooding, which
continues to increase and therefore seriously threatens the safety of the local communities along
the banks of the Belize River, New River and Rio Hondo. These areas are also the most
productive areas hence the expected damage to the productive sector, in particular agriculture,
shall be of crisis proportion. Agricultural infrastructure and equipment that were affected is
estimated at $11.0 mn.
Citrus
The districts of Toledo and Stann Creek where the bulk of the citrus is produced, was
least affected through a direct impact, i.e. wind and storm surge. However, the excessive
rainfall is expected to affect yield and to result in some losses relate to crop development
Page 8 of 20
activities undertaken prior to the storm. In the Cayo District, it is estimated that 3,000
acres of citrus were affected, while 6,000 acres in the Belize and Orange Walk districts.
These latter losses (Cayo, Belize and Orange Walk Districts) are valued at $6.7 mn.
Sugar
Reports from the northern districts indicate that over 40,000 acres of sugar-cane valued at
$33.0 mn, were damaged. Approximately 12,000 acres are flooded while over 28,000
acres were blown down. This is a severe blow at a time when the industry is faced with
the challenges of trade liberalization and depressed world market prices for sugar. This
industry will require immediate injection of capital to rehabilitate the affected fields.
Other Crops
In the northern and central regions non-traditional export crops such as papayas, hot
peppers etc. suffered damages to approximately 300 acres valued at $7.5 mn.
Rice, a major domestic crop, was affected in three districts, namely Orange Walk (10,000
acres), Belize (2,000 acres) and Cayo (1,000 acres). The total value of this amount of
rice is estimated at $9.7 mn. Corn, another important crop was damaged to the tune of
$17.3 mn and the districts most affected were Orange Walk, Cayo and Corozal. Soybean,
a new crop which was being promoted, suffered losses of approximately $1.0 mn.
Most affected by the floods are the subsistence farmers who lost yield of approximately
$9.0 mn especially those along the banks of the Rio Hondo, Belize River and New River.
This area will need a coordinated approach for medium and long-term strategies to
alleviate the loss of income obtained from farming.
Livestock
It is estimated that 15% of the total livestock industry will be affected or approximately
$11.9 mn. Due to continued flooding, it is quite likely that this figure will need to be
revised upward as other areas become affected.
Page 9 of 20
Fisheries
Damages to the fisheries sector is significant especially since the lobster season, which
extends from 15 June – 15 February, was on its way to being one of the best in recent
years, with an approximate gross value of $15 million. The conch season, scheduled to
open on 1st October has been delayed for at least 2 months and will result in an estimated
loss of 25% ($5.0 mn). The same will occur for shrimp and finfish. The foregone revenue
due to lower yields of these species in capture fisheries amounts to $7.8 million. In
addition, estimates of damages to boats, engines, gear, piers and dwellings were made by
the Fisheries Department, amounting to $3.6 million. Aquaculture did not suffer much
damages and estimates stand at $0.6 mn in the Belize District. Also included in these
losses is damage to the infrastructure of the marine protected areas and the Fisheries
Department.
b. Tourism
The tourism industry has suffered a major setback in San Pedro and Caye Caulker resulting in
millions of dollars in losses. Fortunately, the reef and some beaches are fairly intact. This
indicates that urgent action must be taken to restore room capacity and amenities to sustain the
tourism product.
c. Environment
Substantial erosion and damage to the environment will result from the excessive rains and
accumulation of water, which is now making its way across the flood plains towards the sea.
The environmental impact resulting from both the hurricane and floods are summarized as
follows:
1. High level of contamination with fecal coliform resulting from the overflow of sewer
lagoons and the inundation of septic tanks.
2. Coastal erosion was severe in Caye Caulker and Caye Chapel, moderate on the
western coast of San Pedro and minimal on the east coast of San Pedro. In Caye
Caulker, the greatest erosion occurred at the “split” which widened in terms of length
and depth. As a result of the water rushing from the west coast to the east coast of
Page 10 of 20
Caye Caulker, some three holes of approximately 3 feet in depth and 30 feet in
diameter emerged in the east coast.
3.
Severe damage to the sea-grass beds and soft and hard corals on the Belize Barrier
Reef as a result of the mechanical motion of the water. Many large uprooted seagrass were observed floating in the area between Caye Chapel and San Pedro.
Existing sea-grass beds and corals continues to be affected by the smothering effects
of the silt, as it is deposited on the seafloor.
4. Extensive damage to the mangroves which were devoid not only of their foliage but
also of the rich nutrients in the wetlands. Consequently, fisheries resources will be
affected as these feed off the nutrients from the mangrove wetlands.
5. Substantial loss of habits and feeding grounds of birds in particular. Nesting and
roosting sites of some birds on the atolls were severely affected in particular the
frigate and boobies at Half Moon Caye.
6. Pollution problems to the coastal areas arising from increased sedimentation and
agricultural run-offs.
7. Pollution of water resources from sewerage due to inundated septic tanks and pit
latrines in the flooded areas.
III. Transportation Network
Preliminary assessment of damages to
physical infrastructure, mainly roads and
Table 4

Transportation Network
bridges, indicates an estimated cost of
$107.5 mn in damages.
Roads and
streets were the areas that were mostly
affected by the water as well as drainage
and culverts. Repairs to bridges were
estimated at $0.9 mn.

A total of 100 miles of farm roads were affected in Corozal and Cayo and in the Orange Walk
and Belize District approximately 400 miles were damaged.
One of the domestically operated airlines reported damages to five of its aircrafts estimated at
$0.3 mn. There are also some 85 boats lost up to this point, mainly those used for fishing and
tourism.
IV. Social Infrastructure
Extensive winds, rain and flood damage have resulted in a $75.0 mn loss to residential housing.
The worst destruction was felt in San Pedro at a cost of $20.0 mn and on Caye Caulker (hardest
hit on the west side) at approximately $15.0 mn worth of destruction. In terms of number of
structures, there are indications that some 830 homes have been lost, most of them on the islands
of San Pedro (600) and Caye Caulker (175), with some 65 or so in Belize City.

Note: Partially isolated communities may include persons who are cut off as it reflects the fact
that the villages/communities are only partly accessible. Examples of this are Trial
Farm and Bermudian Landing.
The hurricane and the floods have directly impacted on the lives of approximately one sixth of
the population, largely in the Orange Walk, Cayo, Corozal and Belize districts. As a result of the
loss of houses in San Pedro and Caye Caulker due to the direct hit of hurricane Keith it is
Page 12 of 20
estimated that at least 1,700 persons are homeless. The effect of the flood is much greater than
that of the hurricane in terms of the level of displacement and isolation of families.
Indicated Needs
It must be underscored here that these figures are still preliminary. In general, however, they
indicate a need for a number of simultaneous measures. In the first instance, there is the need to
continue supplying temporary housing/shelter for those who are being affected by the floods, as
well as those who are without homes in due to the direct impact of the hurricane. In terms of the
latter, many of whom are located in the Belize District (San Pedro, Caye Caulker and to a lesser
extent Belize City), there is a need to provide means of resettling through the provision, for the
most part, of low income houses built to a standard that can withstand a fair degree of disaster,
at the very least Category 4. Furthermore, plans will have to be made to provide for those who
are displaced due to flooding until the waters subside and their fields can be rehabilitated.
Estimates of the time it will take for this to occur vary from three (3) months to six (months). As
indicated before, this implies that the food bill can vary from $4.0 mn to $9.0 mn.
Picture 2: Aerial view of extensive flooding in Roaring Creek
Page 13 of 20
In terms of agriculture and commerce, there will be a need to direct concerted energies toward
accessing lines of credit and pursuing concessionary terms as far as possible. In addition to
the estimates for Tourism and Agriculture, there are a number of small industries that have been
affected, particularly as a result of the flooding. Reconstruction efforts will have to therefore
take these into account as well.
It must also be mentioned here that the costs included in this analysis do not take account yet of
the full cost of responding directly to the crisis. To-date efforts are being expended on
accessing some $40.0 mn to meet these expenses; particularly to meet the cost of cleaning rubble
in the affected areas, of restoring services to stricken areas both on the island and the mainland
and of taking temporary measures to buttress the transportation infrastructure, particularly roads,
culverts and bridges. In addition, there is a need also to take account of and address the damages
sustained by schools and other public buildings from both their use as shelters, and particularly
in the Belize and Orange Walk Districts, from structural and water damage due to floods.
Conclusion
The assessment so far indicates that there is currently a pressing need to address food needs for
those who continue to be affected by the floods, to access funding for recovery and
reconstruction, particularly to cover the cost of responding to the crisis, the cost of housing
reconstruction and of mitigating crop and livestock losses. Measures must be taken to ensure
that the housing and loss of income needs of those victims from the lower income brackets are
quickly met, and that moreover, the reconstruction is aimed at further mitigating measures, both
in terms of physical structures and of shifting to a greater reliance on insurance and sinking funds
for disaster relief.
The Damage Assessment and Evaluation team continues its assessment work and will be
providing interim reports, at least on a weekly basis. It is envisioned that a final report will be
submitted in three to four weeks. The aim is to continue to assess the affected areas and update
information in particular that on housing, on damages to schools, and on losses incurred in terms
of government and private sector revenues. Pending the abatement of floodwaters, conclusive
assessments of damages to agriculture, housing and commercial buildings in the Belize Rural
North and Central will be undertaken.
