BRIDGETOWN, Barbados, CMC –

The Caribbean’s response to disasters during this year’s expected “above average” Atlantic hurricane season is being significantly enhanced with a humanitarian ship on standby in the region’s waters, fully equipped to support countries impacted by weather events and other disasters.

Executive Director of the Caribbean Disaster Emergency Management Agency (CDEMA), Elizabeth Riley, disclosed today that the vessel will be launched through Global Support and Development (GSD) – a non-governmental rapid disaster response and humanitarian organisation based in Amsterdam.
