The village of Pichelin lies on the Loubiere to Bagatelle Road. Hurricane Maria caused extensive damage, with high winds resulting in many of the houses losing their roofs, and the intense rainfall flooding the entire village, destroying houses and cars. UK aid and the Catholic Relief Service are two British charities currently offering support in the area.

In addition, last year the UK allocated £25m for a climate resilient road between Loubiere and Bagatelle. This would have better flood drainage so the road would not be destroyed in a hurricane and would be built to withstand a natural disaster.
