Regional Team: LAC

Disaster Declared: 01/28/2005

Brief Description: In late December 2004, heavy rainfall caused severe flooding in the administrative regions of West Demerara/Essequibo Islands, Demerara/Mahaica, and Mahaica/West Berbice, which encompass 75 percent of Guyana’s population and include the capital city, Georgetown. According to a U.N. Disaster Assessment and Coordination (UNDAC) team, rains over Georgetown in January 2005 caused additional flooding of four to five feet in some villages near the East and West Demerara conservancy dams. According to the Government of Guyana’s Joint Operations Center (GOG/JOC), a total of 192,000 residents were directly affected by the flooding.
