The objective of this report on the intense flooding of Guyana in 2005 is to provide a preliminary assessment of the damage incurred with a special focus on reconstruction needs likely to emerge once the relief phase is over. Its aim is to provide donors with an initial assessment of possible intervention needs within six months to a year following the emergency created by the floods. As such, the report does not address the need for emergency relief and is issued after the UN launched a flash appeal for immediate assistance needed for the relief operation currently ongoing. The report does not provide a cost estimate of damage incurred.
