"Natural
Disasters" Earthquake, Volcanic Eruptions, Wildfires,
Tornados,
Hurricanes, Floods, Droughts, Landslides - pose a severe
threat to many parts of the world as well as here in Trinidad
and Tobago and the Caribbean region.
For us perenial problems including flooding, landslides,
earthquakes,
tornados and wildfires which can result in sunstantial loss of
property,
damage to crops, health problems, isolation of rural and at
risk communities, disruption in traffic, loss of man hours and
worst loss of lives.
The time for action is NOW
It is important to note that a fundarmental element of
disaster management stratergies is the active inolvement of
communities at risk and other stakeholders. We must recognize
and accept our individual and collective responsibility
for the prudent management of our environment to assist the
reduction of our level of vulnerability and the severity of
impacts
associated with the occurences of natural disasters which has
always beenand will continue to be interwoven with the history
of mankind.
