Caribbean Community Resilience to Disaster Risk (CCRDR): Enhancing community resilience to disaster risk in the Caribbean region.
Through support from the Canadian Red Cross and the Canadian International Development Agency, the Red Cross Societies in Dominica, Jamaica and Guyana have launched a three year program to enhance community resilience to disaster risk in the Caribbean region. This project will enable people living in vulnerable communities to identify and analyze risks and hazards in their local environment, to adopt behaviours that will make their homes and communities safer and be able to respond to disasters.
Fifteen communities across each of the three countries will benefit from this project that sets out a process for a coordinated disaster management approach, focusing on achieving three expected results: firstly to build safer, more resilient communities; secondly, to enhance institutional Red Cross capacity for disaster management at national and community levels; and thirdly to increase Red Cross coordination and advocacy for comprehensive disaster management.
