The Caribbean region is poised to benefit from increased humanitarian assistance following the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the Caribbean Disaster Emergency Management Agency (CDEMA) and humanitarian service provider, Rescue Global (RG). The signing took place yesterday, September 19, 2018 at the CDEMA Coordinating Unit in St. Michael, Barbados.

  • The following is a report from the CARICOM Operational Support Team (COST) that was deployed to Dominica in support of National Emergency Operations Center (NEOC).
  • The NEOC was activated on September 12, 2018 and remain activated with the support of the three (3) members of the COST. Based on the reports from the NEOC in Dominica, minimal damages were reported. The incident is categorised as a Level 1, which means no external assistance is required.

As Tropical Storm Isaac churns towards islands in the northern and western Caribbean, I would like, as the chairman of Caribbean Disaster Emergency Management Agency (CDEMA) to appeal to residents in the threatened Member States to take all necessary and serious precautions at this time.
