    Thirty-seven people died from the effects of Hurricane Ivan on Grenada, before it continued around Jamaica to the USA. Around 90% of houses were damaged or destroyed. Most people were affected in some way, half being made homeless. Water, power and telecommunications systems were disrupted, which was potentially a major health risk for the island.
