Enhanced preparedness for extreme weather across the Caribbean

Abstract

This workplan sets out a framework for making more effective use of resources based on extreme weather forecasts in the Caribbean, and the financial support and technical assistance required to strengthen the four key components of such a framework (forecasting and decision-making; timing and planning early actions; financing; and delivery). It builds on a scoping study undertaken on behalf of the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS) Commission, which included key stakeholder consultations, a multi-stakeholder workshop to determine interest and gaps in current mechanisms to address disaster risks, and a roundtable discussion with regional development partners.
