When Winds Blow is a narrative by master Caribbean storyteller Paul Keens-Douglas who interviewed, interpreted, and re-told the story of the Grenada experience with Hurricane Ivan which devastated the island on September 7, 2004. Lessons on disaster preparedness are integrated into this three-part narrative. The story is cast within a comedy genre but it is not comical as real life experiences are told in a riveting and captivating performance. This project was implemented by CDERA in collaboration with the Organisation of American States (OAS) and the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) with funding from the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA).
