The Caribbean Facing Natural Hazards
Did you know that the Caribbean is one of the regions most exposed to natural disasters ?
🌀 Hurricanes, 🌊 tsunamis, 🌋 volcanoes, 🌧️ floods, 🌱 droughts…
Here, hazards are numerous – and often sudden.
And that’s not all ! Add to that :
- island territories sometimes isolated,
