Every year, with the onset of gradual or sudden disasters, many lives are lost, and livelihoods are
destroyed. Caribbean Small Island Developing States (SIDS) are particularly vulnerable to natural
hazards and disasters, which are becoming more and more severe and frequent every year, posing
increasingriskstotheirpopulations.Forthisreason,DisasterRiskReduction(DRR)mustbehighon
ourglobalagenda.
