In the immediate aftermath, solidarity networks emerged to provide economic aid to families, businesses, and religious structures, particularly along the Ionian coast. In Catania, officials proposed financial relief for fishermen to compensate for lost income caused by the storm. Simultaneously, the cyclone’s effects on the seabed prompted archaeological interventions. The Kaukana Project, a collaboration involving the University of Udine and the Sicilian Region Superintendency of the Sea, concluded a mission off the coast of Ragusa to document submerged heritage damaged by the storm. During this campaign, the cyclone exposed a classical-era shipwreck hull near the Secche di Circe, leading archaeologists to recover vulnerable materials and protect the site with geotextile fabric. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-17: Ragusa underwater archaeology campaign concludes after Cyclone Harry The Kaukana Project concluded its seventh underwater archaeology campaign in Ragusa, Sicily, documenting shipwreck damage caused by Cyclone Harry and researching climate change impacts on submerged heritage. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/ragusa-underwater-archaeology-campaign-concludes-after-cyclone-harry ### 2026-09-14: Sicily recovery efforts follow Cyclone Harry and regional weather damage Following Cyclone Harry and other regional weather events in Italy, solidarity networks and local officials are mobilizing to provide economic relief to families, businesses, and fishermen in Sicily. 10 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/italy-communities-mobilize-following-cyclone-harry-and-tornado-damage --- Cite as: Cyclone Harry impact and recovery in Sicily.
