When we talk about Disaster Risk Reduction and building resilience across the region, it's usually done in the context of the challenges that we face.
Join Dr. Barbara Carby, Director of the Disaster Risk Reduction Centre (DRRC) and co-principal of the EKACDM Initiative, as she walks us through some of the successes in the region.
From farmers contributing to climate resilience to building back stronger, there are numerous things for the Caribbean to be proud of.

The ‘Enhancing Knowledge and Application of Comprehensive Disaster Management (EKACDM Initiative)’ is a five-year Project whose ultimate outcome is the implementation of the CARICOM Enhanced Comprehensive Disaster Management (CDM) Framework (2007) to reduce the impacts of natural and technological hazards, and the effect of climate change, on men, women, and children in the region. The Initiative, which commenced in September 2013, will establish an effective mechanism and programme to manage knowledge in CDM, which is Priority Outcome 2 of the CDM Strategy of the Caribbean Disaster Emergency Management Agency (CDEMA).
