Disaster Management plan,<br />
structure, policies, and processes<br />
for the benefit of all stakeholders.<br />
6. Ensure that mitigation planning is<br />
integrated into all essential aspects<br />
of the institutional framework,<br />
resulting in risk reduction<br />
measures.<br />
7. Develop additional mechanisms to<br />
prepare for and recover from<br />
disasters which affect the tourism<br />
infrastructure and product.<br />
8. Develop school-based disaster<br />
programmes accessible to<br />
students, creating greater<br />
awareness and education.<br />
Provides a structured approach for<br />
building the capacity of the Red Cross<br />
societies in the Caribbean 6 to prepare<br />
for, mitigate and respond to disasters,<br />
while at the same time strengthening<br />
links with government and regional<br />
disaster management agencies.<br />
PfCC is intended to be a quick and<br />
“light” introduction that helps Red<br />
Cross Societies understand the risks to<br />
communities and identify priority areas<br />
for attention and communities at risk.<br />
The PfCC informs general planning<br />
and existing programme areas such as<br />
DM, DP/DRR, health and care, etc.<br />
The idea is not to establish a new area<br />
of work but rather to find out where<br />
plans and programmes<br />
s may need to be adjusted or scaled<br />
up in light of changing risks.<br />

Dutch Overseas Branches, and French and USA Overseas Territories.<br />
