British Overseas Territories: Hurricanes and Tornadoes
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what steps his Department is taking to support the British Overseas Territories following Hurricane Beryl.
Answered by Stephen Doughty
HMS Trent visited the Cayman Islands immediately after Hurricane Beryl. As Hurricane Beryl had a limited impact upon the Cayman Islands, HMS Trent was not required to support the local recovery. HMS Trent and Cayman used the opportunity to grow shared understanding and awareness ahead of potential future hurricane responses.
The UK continues to stand ready to support the British Overseas Territories to respond to hurricanes, maintaining an array of response plans to be able to provide civil, military, and/or commercial support in response to requests for assistance.
