Several areas of Cayo have been officially declared disater areas.

Damage to the agricultural sector is significant and this means food shortages await us --- onions, potatos, rice, cane, papayas and corn in particular. Loss of corn means higher costs for feed for livestock. Also there has been some loss of livestock itself in this flood. Spanish Lookout is still cut off and this means not much produce can get to market.
