UNESCO Joins MoECST, NICH, and stakeholders Post-Disaster Needs Assessment of Culture Sector after the Hurricane Lisa

January 23, 2023 - Hurricane

Lisa made landfall as a category one hurricane on November 2, 2022, just south of Belize City. This natural disaster brought flooding to the low-lying regions of Belize City and exposed much of the central part of the country to hurricane force winds and rain.

The Belizean cultural sector, which has been slowly rebounding from the COVID-19 pandemic, was, unfortunately, not spared from the devastation brought on by Hurricane Lisa. As with most sectors, the cultural and creative community were significantly affected.

A Post-Disaster Needs Assessment (PDNA) has been launched by the Government of Belize to compile information into a comprehensive report which will detail the physical impact of Hurricane Lisa, the economic value of the damage and losses, the human impacts as experienced by affected populations, and related recovery needs and priorities.

In a first for Belize, a PDNA of the Culture Sector is assessing the pre- and post- disaster situation, the physical impacts of the disaster, the economic value of damage and losses, the human impact in relation to cultural and research institutions, built heritage and archaeological sites, moveable heritage, collections, depositories, living heritage and culture and creative industries.
