Belize    Belize   

Belize is a nation on the eastern coast of Central America, with Caribbean Sea shorelines to the east and dense jungle to the west. Offshore, the massive Belize Barrier Reef, dotted with hundreds of low-lying islands called cayes, hosts rich marine life. Belize’s jungle areas are home to Mayan ruins like Caracol, renowned for its towering pyramid; lagoon-side Lamanai; and Altun Ha, just outside Belize City. ― Google

HURRICANE NANA

test
Body

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.
