Dear friends and attendees, as Chairman of the CDEMA Council of Ministers, it gives me great pleasure to welcome you, to the 11th Caribbean Conference on Comprehensive Disaster Management, on behalf of the people of the Caribbean and the Member States of CDEMA.

As you are aware, CDEMA is the region’s principle disaster management body, with 18 member states, working in concert to promote disaster preparedness and risk mitigation, in the event of Natural or Manmade hazards. This Conference is CDEMA’s premier event and aims to bring together all of its members and partners for five days of intense discussions, workshops, displays and interaction intended to make us a more resilient people and region.
