The 2017 Atlantic hurricane season has been devastating. The season\u2014which typically begins in June\u2014peaks in September with an average of 2.5 major storms per season. But this year, there have been four major storms so far including two category 5 hurricanes\u2014the strongest classification of storm measured.<\/p>\n
Much of the Caribbean and parts of the southern \u0627\u0644\u0648\u0644\u0627\u064a\u0627\u062a \u0627\u0644\u0645\u062a\u062d\u062f\u0629 \u0627\u0644\u0623\u0645\u0631\u064a\u0643\u064a\u0629<\/a> have been severely impacted. Hurricane Irma caused catastrophic damage in Barbuda<\/a>, Saint Barth\u00e9lemy, Saint Martin, Anguilla, and the Virgin Islands. For the islands that were not as hard hit, relief was short-lived as just days later, hurricane Maria ripped through causing severe damage in \u062f\u0648\u0645\u064a\u0646\u064a\u0643\u0627<\/a>, the Dominican Republic, the US Virgin Islands, and the Turks and Caicos. In many places the damage of Maria was intensified because of the damage already inflicted by Irma\u2014making blowing debris and already compromised structures all the more damaging.<\/p>\n Both storms resulted in the loss of lives as well as significant property damage.<\/p>\n But even though it is still early days in terms of relief and rebuilding efforts, many are already hopeful for what the future can bring.<\/p>\n Several Caribbean nations that sustained significant damage have robust citizenship by investment programs, which may just be the key to helping to rebuild. For instance, \u0633\u0627\u0646\u062a \u0643\u064a\u062a\u0633 \u0648\u0646\u064a\u0641\u064a\u0633 <\/a>has already introduced a plan to shift money from its Citizenship by Investment unit to help fund rebuilding efforts both at home and also in neighbouring countries like Dominica and Antigua and Barbuda, two of the hardest hit nations.<\/p>\n
