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).
