Design and maintenance of an online information portal on natural hazards for the Caribbean population
Introducing PIRAC
The Caribbean is one of the regions of the world most exposed to the risk of natural disasters: hurricanes, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, floods and tsunamis. The region is also characterized by high health risks linked to epidemic diseases. These major risks are exacerbated by a number of factors that make populations and territories vulnerable: insularity, socio-economic fragility, complex migratory flows, high urban densification and pressure. In addition, the risk of crises and disasters is heightened by climate change, which influences the frequency, intensity and unpredictability of hazards, requiring populations and institutions to make sustained efforts to adapt.
Created in 2005, the Plateforme d’Intervention Régionale Amériques Caraïbes (PIRAC) is the representative delegation of the French Red Cross for the Caribbean region, and represents its operational mechanism for humanitarian action and regional cooperation. PIRAC comes to the aid of Caribbean populations in the event of major disasters, and works to develop actions to strengthen the resilience of populations in the French countries and territories of the Caribbean arc and the Guyana Plateau. Since its creation, PIRAC has also deployed some forty emergency operations, both internationally and in France.

The Ready 360/3 oceans phase 2 program began in January 2024. It aims to build a global and greener resilience of Caribbean territories by strengthening disaster preparedness and response capacities at all levels: from the individual and family, to that of organizations and businesses, up to the level of the institutional coordination of risk management.
One of the expected outcomes of the project is to build the resilience of Caribbean citizens, through better information, awareness and preparedness for disasters and crises. To help achieve this outcome, PIRAC intends to develop an online information portal on natural hazards for the Caribbean population.
In this context, PIRAC is looking for a service provider or a team of service providers* to :
– Design from start to finish (from hosting to domain name and graphic design) an information portal on natural hazards for the Caribbean population.
– Maintain the portal until the end of the project, i.e. December 31, 2026.
– Ensure knowledge transfer to the team for autonomous feeding and administration of the portal and on the SEO strategy.
