The Civil Defence Commission (CDC) is currently conducting a multi-sectorial response  following reports of high winds that affected the community of Arau, Region Seven, causing  damage to several residential structures.

Based on preliminary information provided by the Village Toshao, fifteen (15) houses have  been reported as damaged, with the impacts primarily affecting roofs and other sections of  residential structures. These figures remain preliminary and are subject to verification as  assessments continue.

An ongoing damage assessment is currently being conducted to determine the full extent of the  impact on households and community infrastructure. The assessment and response are being  coordinated by the CDC with support from the Guyana Defence Force (GDF), Guyana Police  Force (GPF), Regional Democratic Council (RDC), and Arau Village leaders.
