Hurricane Matthew, one of the most powerful Atlantic hurricanes in recent years, is causing havoc as it tears through the Caribbean. It has affected 16 countries in the Caribbean so far.
As part of its participation in the International Charter "Space and Major Disasters," the Canadian Space Agency is providing RADARSAT-2 satellite imagery to mitigate the effects of this natural disaster.
