Vulnerable Communities Made Ready Ahead of Hurricane Season with Anticipatory Action Workshops

As the 2024 Hurricane Season approaches, Saint Lucia has initiated proactive steps to protect vulnerable communities from the devastating impact of natural disasters. A series of Anticipatory Action workshops has begun, led by the World Food Programme (WFP) in collaboration with the Ministry of Equity, Social Justice and Empowerment. In 2023, Saint Lucia, and other Caribbean governments participated in an initiative led by the WFP, focusing on the importance of anticipatory action in disaster preparedness. Since then, the WFP and the Ministry of Equity, have been diligently working on a plan tailored to Saint Lucia's needs.
