Cover title
On September 5, 1995, the island of Anguilla in the British West Indies was struck by Hurricane Luis, with very strong winds and a 20-foot storm surge. The storm severely undermined the island's primary source of income - tourism - just as the main tourist season was about to begin. The report describes the storm and the resultant damage to housing, health, education, infrastructure, the production and service sectors of the economy, and the environment. It also examines economic impacts on the island's economy and proposes a number of projects and activities to rehabilitate and reconstruct the island, some of which will require technical and financial cooperation from the international community
