Virtual Caribbean Safe School Initiative Pre-Ministerial Forum
Technical Session 2: National Disaster Management Offices’ Directors
The session would aim to capture the good practices and lessons learnt from the COVID-19 experience, including how preparation activities for the hurricane season were impacted by the pandemic, and other interacting factors that have emerged within a multi-hazard context. It would provide a good forum for displaying good practices and opportunities for further coordination between Ministries of Education and National Disaster Management Offices.
