A virtual exhibition to raise public awareness on disaster law was launched by the International Federation of the Red Cross and Red Crescent and the PIRAC in December 2023 as part of the READY 360 project.

Through a series of videos and interviews, it aims to highlight recent disaster preparedness and response experiences in the Caribbean zone, with Red Cross National Society volunteers explaining the concrete challenges in the field in terms of legislation during a crisis. 

Various resources are also available to help visitors better understand the disaster law challenges.
