Table 1- Effects of Hurricane Matthew by sector Source: Assessment Team, 2016 Table 2- Effects of Hurricane Matthew by island Source: Assessment Team, 2016 Table 2 displays the total hurricane costs by island. Nearly seventy per cent of the total cost occurred in Grand Bahama; 23 per cent, in New Providence. Andros accounts for 4.6 per cent of the total and the Berry Islands for 0.3 per cent. Table 3- Estimated public and private damage, losses and additional cost: of Hurricane Matthew by economic sector and subsector The sector distribution of damage is as follows: 54.5 per cent in the so- cial sector, 10.2 per cent in infrastructure, 34.8 per cent in the produc- tive sectors and 0.5 per cent in the environment. In the social sectors, 98.2 per cent of damages occurred in housing. In infrastructure, 42.8 per cent of damages was to the electrical power sector. In the productive sectors, 99.4 per cent of damages occurred in the tourism sector.

Source: Ministry of Social Services, October 2016 Table 5- Shelters by island and population in shelters The country was relatively well prepared, as indicated by the facts that there were no deaths or major injuries directly caused by the hurricane and that relatively few people needed shelters. It is necessary to empha- size that a “culture of hurricanes” in The Bahamas encourages inhab- itants to take protective measures beforehand. This should continue to deepen, because reduction of disaster risk begins with education on these issues as early as primary school. In addition, information regard- ing the hurricane was transmitted to the population in a timely manner.

That facility also lost all its stock of medications and medical supplies. Damage is estimated at $30,000. Residences for doctor and nurses suffered damage to furniture and equipment. One clinic did not have a generator and another had a generator that needed repair. These generator issues could not be attributable to Matthew, but we include them because a generator is an essential asset for a health facility and because of the estimated cost—$40, 700.

Thus, the national loss in the education sector was $4,758,208.

The greatest damages were experienced on Grand Bahama, which lost almost 2,000 transmission and distribution poles. In some cases, long rows of poles collapsed in a chain reaction; as one pole fell, the power and telecom- munications lines attached to it pulled down the next pole. The poles were generally of a higher grade on Grand Bahama than in areas of Long Island and Crooked Island where large numbers of poles fell during Hur- ricane Joaquin, Grand Bahama poles also tended to be somewhat older, which may have contributed to their collapse. Some poles showed signs of damage due to aging and prolonged exposure to ultraviolet rays from the sun. A number of the oldest wooden distribution poles in West End appeared to have been in the process of being replaced around the time of the hurricane. Nonetheless, a high number of these poles fell, taking down power lines and in some cases damaging nearby buildings. On the other hand, newer transmission poles made out of a composite material do not appear to have sustained much damage.

It produced 1,000 gallons per hour at a cost of $5,000 per day. This system had also been used on Crooked Island after Hurricane Joa- quin. Compared to the aftermath of Hurricane Joaquin, the WSC was well-prepared with portable generators to overcome lack of power and use the desalination plant’s water storage for several days.
