After Hurricane Beryl destroyed ninety-eight percent of the education infrastructure in Carriacou and Petite Martinique, Grenada's education ministry attended a UNESCO workshop on making schools "climate smart."

Interests: Flooding ground-floor apartments, triggering landslides, contributing to fatal train derailments. The Calabria civil protection director called me a "once-in-a-century event."
No pressure, but I killed five people and caused €500 million in damage. Swipe right if you're ready for something unforgettable.
