This exercise revolves around Hurricane Clara, a Category 5 storm, which made landfall on the fictional Caribbean island of Palmas in October 2018, directly affecting the lives of at least 70,000 people (almost the entire population). The hurricane destroyed entire crops, and disrupted power and water supplies. Preliminary findings of the Post-Disaster Needs Assessment (PDNA) revealed a catastrophic impact on the productive sector. According to the PDNA, losses are estimated at $387,000,000, damage at $970,000,000, and needs at $1.16 billion.
