The Council for Agricultural Research and Economics of Italy (CREA - Ricerca) has joined the existing consortium and will be leading innovative research activities covering the nexus among disasters, agricultural crops and pest management.
CREA is a leading research organization dedicated to the agri-food supply chains, supervised by the Ministry of Ministry of Agricultural, Food, Forestry and Tourism Policies. Its scientific activity covers agricultural crops, livestock, fishery, forestry, agro-industry, food science – and socioeconomics. Specifically, within the REACH project CREA will support the partnership by developing a model for forecasting pest and disease insurgence and a model for water management and precision irrigation.
A dedicated meeting session took place on November 18th to present CREA to the existing consortium and to illustrate the following activities to be implemented in the next few weeks. The session featured national project coordinators, national focal points, and Ministries of Agriculture from Saint Lucia and St. Vincent and the Grenadines as well as representatives from CDEMA - Caribbean Disaster Emergency Management Agency, Caribbean Institute for Meteorology and Hydrology (CIMH), CIMA Research Foundation & Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO).
After a challenging period, due to COVID-19 constrains, the following weeks will certainly be rich of novelties and useful findings towards disaster risk management and resilient agricultural strategies, two very important assets to assure a sustainable development in the region and promote the sharing of good practices between Italy and the Caribbean region. #REACHpartnerships #REACHingresilience - The RRM is critical to CDEMA and its participating states as national, regional and international stakeholders contribute to effectively responding to impacted countries.

We've showcased some of the hazards we can experience during volcanic eruptions. Now let's share key safety and preparedness tips. Volcanic eruptions may not happen often but when they do, we need to be prepared. #VolcanoREADY #volcanooutreach #EarthScienceWeek #dominica #ESW2020 - Photos from CDEMA - Caribbean Disaster Emergency Management Agency's post #withinREACH: This week, representatives from the Caribbean Institute for Meteorology and Hydrology (CIMH) and the Ministry of Agriculture, Saint Lucia collaborated to complete the installation of an agro-meteorological weather station (AWS) in Saint Lucia. This activity was significantly delayed following the impact of the pandemic on travel restrictions. We extend commendations to these gentlemen for their hard work and for braving the rainy weather to complete this activity. More information of the specifications and purpose of the AWS will be given in the coming weeks as the work moves onto Saint Vincent & the Grenadines to complete the same. #REACHingtargets #milestoneREACHed
- CDEMA's Integrated Regional Logistics Hub Documentary This documentary focuses on the work within the Integrated Regional Logistics Hub (IRLH).
The IRLH plays an integral role in supporting the frontline workers of the 19 CDEMA Participating States. The regional hub based in Barbados facilitates the shipment of thousands of COVID-19 relief supplies including coveralls, masks, gloves and test kits throughout the region. The success of the hub has shown how strategic partnerships and a commitment to resilience can bring together countries around the globe to make a positive humanitarian impact. #covid-19 #disastermanagement #caribbean #canada - The Caribbean Risk Information System (CRIS) Platform The CRIS is an integrated platform by CDEMA which improves knowledge and information sharing in disaster risk management and climate change adaptation. It is the primary mechanism envisioned by the agency to fulfill its mandate. #disastermanagement
