What is the Targeted Support to CDEMA Project? The Targeted Support to CDEMA Project was conceptualized to assist with a number of crucial areas within CDEMA’s mandate, and maintain CDEMA's longstanding partnership with Canada.
Funded by Global Affairs Canada, the project aims to improve Comprehensive Disaster Management within the 19 Participating States, zoning in on vulnerable groups in disaster prone areas.
Over the past four years, Targeted Support to CDEMA Project has focused on logistical support, strengthening CDEMA’s ICT capabilities, search and rescue training, disaster relief, improved governance in disaster management and gender mainstreaming.

CDEMA's message for International Day of Disaster Risk Reduction 2021 Today is International Day for Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR), recognized each October 13th to garner international support to build resilience across the planet.
Executive Director of CDEMA Elizabeth Riley shares the importance of DRR in the Caribbean, in the face of Climate Change. This year has shown the importance of strengthened DRR strategies, as the region faced a major volcanic eruption, earthquake and above normal hurricane season in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic.
