Regional Health Leadership: Dr. Eva Jané Llopis has started as the PAHO/WHO Representative for Barbados and the Eastern Caribbean Countries, overseeing technical cooperation across Barbados, OECS states, and territories including Montserrat, with a focus on stronger, more equitable health systems. Earthquake Watch: Tenerife saw a new offshore swarm near Punta Hidalgo, with four quakes late Aug 26 (largest magnitude 3.6); residents in Santa Cruz and La Laguna felt it, and there were no reported damages or flight disruptions. Caribbean Weather: Tropical Storm Dolly formed in the central Atlantic after Arthur, Bertha, and Cristobal; it’s not hurricane strength yet, but September is typically peak season, so travelers should monitor forecasts.
