THOMSON REUTERS:
Hurricane-ravaged Barbuda and Dominica must "build back better"


...

As Hurricane Irma barreled towards the island, all of the 1,800 residents of Barbuda were evacuated to neighouring Antigua, but the storm destroyed most of its buildings and agriculture. In Dominica, Category 5 Hurricane Maria made landfall on Sept. 18, claiming the lives of 15 people and affecting most of the small island's population of 73,000 people.
