REACT is working quickly to get urgent help to people directly affected by the devastation caused by Hurricane Beryl in the Caribbean region. 

Hurricane Beryl is the most powerful storm ever to make landfall this early in the season. It intensified at a lightning pace, morphing from a tropical depression to a category-five hurricane in just three days. The storm has wreaked havoc across the Caribbean with devastating force. Winds reaching up to 130 mph have torn through the islands, causing widespread destruction to people's homes and livelihoods. 

A REACT team has deployed to the region to assess immediate needs.
