The National Disaster Management Agency (NaDMA) is said to be taking a Comprehensive Disaster Management approach, not only to prepare for the 2023 Atlantic Hurricane Season, but for other possible hazards all during the year.
To this end, in collaboration with the World Bank, it will engage stakeholders and conduct two familiarization exercises for two of its governance documents that were recently updated: The Hurricane plan and the Emergency Operations Center (EOC) manual were recently reviewed and revised.
The sessions with staff and stakeholders will provide an opportunity for the team to become more familiar with the documents and allow for a more in-depth analysis of the functions of the users in an emergency or disaster.
NaDMA staff and other stakeholders will meet to familiarize themselves with the Emergency Operations Center manual, today, from 9am to 1pm.
Then on Wednesday, the team will meet for a similar process with the Hurricane Plan.
Both sessions will be conducted at the NaDMA conference room, Morne Jaloux, St. George’s.
The document review is part of NaDMA’s efforts to strengthen its response capabilities and enhance preparedness across all sectors.
Balaji Singh Chowham, the Consultant hired by the World Bank under the project, Canada Caribbean Resilient Facility (CRF), will facilitate the session.
