Fostering collaborative approaches to disaster preparedness in the Caribbean: strengthening human mobility frameworks and building capacity to addressdisaster displacement

About this project

Building on lessons from recent disasters, such as the recent response to Hurricane Beryl (2024), this action leverages existing partnerships and aligns closely with EU priorities and the recently signed MOU on integrated disaster risk management between the European Union and the Latin America and Caribbean regions.The project prioritizes the development of national action plans while revising community-based early warning systems (EWS) and evacuation protocols to incorporate cross-border mobility data and participatory community approaches. It also aims to strengthen the capacities of CDEMA, national disaster risk management agencies, andhumanitarian partners in data collection, analysis, and management, ensuring a people-centered focus on protection and inclusion. Additionally, a crisis modifier is included to enable rapid, lifesaving assistance during sudden-onset emergencies.
