How the score is calculated
The score starts at 8. It adds points from recorded affected, deaths, displaced and casualty counts, plus terms found in the story title, event type or status. For each count, only its highest matching band is used.
- Affected people
- 1–999: +5 · 1,000–9,999: +12 · 10,000–99,999: +20 · 100,000–999,999: +28 · 1 million+: +35
- Deaths
- 1–9: +8 · 10–99: +14 · 100–999: +22 · 1,000+: +30
- Displaced people
- 1–9,999: +6 · 10,000–99,999: +12 · 100,000+: +18
- Casualties
- 100 or more: +8
- Story wording
- +10 for terms such as catastrophe, famine, war, conflict, major earthquake, mass casualty or critical. Otherwise, +5 for active, ongoing, emergency, outbreak, cyclone or hurricane.
Score bands: Watch 0–24 · Moderate 25–49 · High 50–74 · Critical 75–100. Scores are capped at 100. Missing or unparseable figures add no points.

Situation
Nana made landfall in Belize early 3 September as a Category 1 hurricane after passing near Honduras’ northern coasts and the Bay Islands department, bringing heavy rains and 60mph wind speeds before weakening to a Tropical Storm over northern Guatemala. While authorities in Honduras, Belize and Guatemala continue to evaluate Nana’s impact in their countries, preliminary reports indicated minimal damages. As of 7:00am 3 September, Belize National Emergency Management Organization (NEMO) reported more than 4,000 people sheltered, with more than half in Toledo (2,079), Belize’s southern-most district. Dangriga in Stann Creek reported 980 people sheltered, the capital of Belmopan reported 355 people sheltered and Belize City, the country’s most populous city, reported 319 people sheltered. At present, there are no requests for international assistance. Normal levels of rainfall continue in the wake of Nana’s passage, placing some areas in Guatemala and Honduras at risk of landslides and localized flash flooding. Nana will reach southern Mexico late 3 September, where Civil Protection authorities have issued the necessary alerts to activate coordination protocols, and then move over the Gulf of Tehuantepec on 4 September.
