Technical assistance to a study on the current actions and initiatives in the field of civil protection in the Caribbean in order to promote, enhance and reinforce the regional cooperation mechanisms : Final report

The global objective of this study is to assess the actions and initiatives in the field of civil protection in the Caribbean, in order to promote, enhance and reinforce regional cooperation between European Overseas Countries and Territories (OCTs), Outermost Regions (ORs) and the countries from the African, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) that make up CARIFORUM, as well as with other donors. For this report, “civil protection is defined as all the civil actions intended to anticipate and respond to emergencies via the provision of assistance to a population adversely affected by natural disasters or disasters of human origin. It involves several phases including risk prevention, disaster preparedness, crisis management, the reaction to the consequences of disaster and the return to normality”.<br<
