Bridgetown, BARBADOS, November 25, 2009. Panos – The Pan American Health Organisation, (PAHO) recently concluded a 3-day training workshop on Communication and Information Management for Disaster Response geared at boosting disaster response among communication partners in the Caribbean Region.

“Since Hurricane David struck Dominica in 1979, PAHO/WHO has maintained a disaster response team to assess needs and respond promptly in the Caribbean. This team has been on standby every year during the hurricane season and has responded effectively,” said PAHO representatives while giving the rationale for the workshop. However, there has been no opportunity to test it after a major earthquake. In 2005, the Governing Bodies requested the Director of PAHO to further support Member States by establishing a region wide mechanism for immediate disaster response.”
