Minister for Tourism Honourable Phillip J. Pierre has been underscoring the intricate linkages between the survival of
the tourism industry and that of national security. The Minister was at the time addressing the latest batch of Police and
Ports recruits who graduated on Friday, August 29, 2003 as part of Course 24 administered by the Police Training School
located at La Toc.
Minister Pierre indicated that the greatest challenge to the close to fifty (50) recruits laid not with inadequate salaries and poor
working conditions, although he pointed out that government, since 1998 had embarked on a series of measures aimed at
improving physical working conditions for law enforcement officers, via the refurbishment or construction of new police
stations. The biggest challenge he said would be the prevailing environment in society, which officers would have to contend
with. “Let me suggest to you that the straight road is the best road,” he pointed out.
“Remember that some of your partners on the block will test your fortitude, threaten, ridicule and tempt you in an effort to test
your resolve. If you fall to these temptations you may benefit in the short run but your self respect will disappear and then you
will become useless as a police officer.”
According to Minister Pierre, who also holds the portfolio for Commerce, Investment and Consumer Affairs, the police play a
critical role in support of the tourism industry and will be called upon even more in light of post September 11. Locally tourism
contributes between 11 – 12% of Gross Domestic Product (GDP), provides 50% of the island’s foreign exchange earnings and
employs 20% of the labour force. With $28 million being invested to promoting the industry, Ministry Pierre said proper security
was key to its survival.
“With the increase in the use of the internet and technologies that make communication easier, bad news travel faster and to
more people than before. It we agree with the theory that tourism is a large part of our economy and local security is important,
then we can postulate that criminal activity is indeed an attack on the economy of our country. Police officers are guardians of
the peace and are therefore the main defenders of our economic fortunes,” he said.
Thirty-five (35) of the recruits will be deployed to the Police Force while thirteen (13) will go to the St. Lucia Air and Sea Ports
Authority. Acting Police Commissioner Ausbert Regis called upon the recruits to carry out their assigned duties with the
greatest professional integrity in keeping with the high standards currently being set by the police force and demanded by the
public.

CHAMBER IDENTIFY KEY ISSUES FOR
CANCUN MEETING
As St. Lucia prepares for the 5th Ministerial Meeting of the World Trade Organisation WTO in Cancun-Mexico September
10-14, 2003, Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of External Affairs, International Trade and Civil Aviation, Cosmos
Richardson has identified some of the more sensitive areas that need to be thoroughly examined leading up to the Cancun
meeting. Richardson was at the time addressing an in-country seminar organised by the St. Lucia Chamber of Commerce,
dubbed “ On the Road to Cancun?, is tomorrow too late?”
The two day seminar was attended by representatives of both the private and public sector of St. Lucia, the OECS and St.
Lucia’s representatives at the WTO Dr. Kathy Ann Brown. According to Richardson, agriculture remains an issue of vital
importance since the preservation of the value attached to preferential arrangements continues to be critical concern for St.
Lucia and the other small island states.
Richardson identified market access as another sensitive area, particularly the process and the formula used for tariff reduction
including the time frame, particularly given to these countries heavily dependent on revenue on international trade taxes.
“ Services is another area we frequently mentioned, the service issue, the question of small service suppliers is very important
for us, given the preponderance of small firms in our economy.” Richardson said.
President of the St. Lucia Chamber of Commerce, Guy Mayers called for resistance to what has been dubbed the “Singapore
Issues.” Mayers explained that some developing countries and in particular the European Union are pressing for negotiations
on these issues, which include competition policy, investment, transparency in government procurements and trade facilitation.
“We must resist this. How can we enter negotiations on new areas while we have not even been able to implement existing
agreements? I agree with the sentiments that the Cancun Agenda is already ambitious and that progress should be made on
existing agreement such as agriculture before the introduction of new proposals.” Mayers said.
During the two day meeting, Permanent Representative of Saint Lucia to the WTO in Geneva, Ambassador Edwin Laurent
spoke on Saint Lucia’s interest in the Doha Development Round.
Other key personnel who attended the in-country seminar were CARICOM’s representaive Byron Blake, Senior Economic
Advisor at the OECS, Andrew Satney and Saint Lucia’s representative at the WTO, Dr. Kathy Ann Brown.

FARMERS TO BECOME EUREP-GAP
COMPLIANT BY YEAR END
The major players in the banana industry here have launched what is anticipated to be a very aggressive campaign to get
banana farmers to be EUREP-GAP compliant by December 31, 2003.
This was sparked off as a result of an initiative by the European Retailers Working Group, known as EUREP, which represents
the main supermarkets. Their main objective is to seek common standards and procedures for the development of Good
Agricultural Practices, GAP. The EUREP-GAP came into being principally to ensure food safety for their customers.
Chairman of the Banana Emergency Recovery Unit (BERU), Hilary La Force, says in an effort to meet the December 31
deadline and realising the limited time available in which to do so, a subcommittee has been appointed to develop an action
plan to get banana farmers to be EURREP-GAP certified in the quickest possible time.
According to La Force, among the issues that the committee recommended are: a massive education programme which is
expected to sensitize the farming community as well as the public to the importance of this initiative; a programme aimed at
working with farmers on an individual basis in an endeavour to meet the various criteria to become certified; instituting some
support services which would allow the farmer to meet that certification initiative.
Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Agriculture, Julius Polius, stated that in spite of the many challenges that have confronted
the farmer in the past and at present; they have continued to maintain a certain level of competitiveness in the industry.
Polius indicated that the EUREP-GAP protocol will strengthen the Ministry’s resolve to continue to maintain a viable banana
industry. However, he added that for this to be achieved the farmers must be prepared to work together since it will be
impossible for individual farmers to do this single-handedly.
“The challenge that this EUREP-GAP will bring, will force us to get our farmers to work together one more time. I think this is
what is vital for the success of the banana industry” Polius said.
The main stakeholders involved in the EUREP-GAP Compliance Campaign are the five banana companies, WIBDECO and
BERU.

SAINT LUCIA TO BENEFIT FROM EUROPEAN
DISASTER FUND
St. Lucia in one of half a dozen Caribbean states in line to benefit from funding following the latest mission to select regional
states by Co-ordinator of the Dominican Republic based Humanitarian Aid Office of the European Commission (ECHO).
Mr. Stéphane Quinton’s fact finding mission began here on Wednesday, August 20th, 2003 and will end on the 24th of August,
2003. While on island, he will work closely with the Saint Lucia Red Cross on the exercise, which has been organized by the
International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies, and will discuss funding for Disaster Management
Projects for the Region.
In April 2003 The European Commission announced that it had approved a €2.5 million Action Plan to help vulnerable groups
in the Caribbean prepare for and respond to natural disasters.
Funds would be allocated to international agencies, such as the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent
Societies, operating in the region, via the European Commission’s Humanitarian Office, ECHO. The present funding will focus
on Haiti, Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Jamaica, St. Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, and St. Vincent and the Grenadines and will
fund early warning equipment, disaster preparedness training, small scale mitigation actions, and will also help develop
emergency response mechanisms.
The programme’s principal objective is to reduce the impact of natural disasters by strengthening local physical and human
resources in high-risk areas. The Caribbean region is particularly vulnerable to a wide range of natural disasters, including
hurricanes, volcanic activity and earthquakes.
Since 1998 the European Commission Humanitarian Office has provided some €6.8 million to the Caribbean through its
disaster preparedness programme.
BNTF’S 5 TH PHASE SET TO GO
Project Manager of the Basic Needs Trust Fund (BNTF) Clive Hippolyte says to date all of the preconditions for the disburse
ment of funds under the 5th phase of the programme has been satisfactorily met. This latest development comes on the
heels of the signing last week by Prime Minister and Minister for Finance Honourable Dr. Kenny Anthony, of a grant agreement
with the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA).
Under the agreement CIDA from 2003 up until 2010 will provide an additional US$1.76 million for poverty reduction activities.
That amount will be further augmented by Government who will make available supplementary funds, totalling EC$425
thousand.
Hippolyte says however there are select criteria regarding the allocation of funds coming from CIDA. “The first thing is that a
limit of 20% of the total funding must be spent on rural roads, drains and footpaths. In addition, we will need to make
amendments to our operations manual as one of the pre-conditions for the disbursement of funds under the BNTF 5 Programme.
Under the modified amendment we will have to conduct an environmental assessment for every sub-project and also a gender
analysis for every sub-project.”
Also forming part of the CIDA pre-conditions, BNTF sub-projects would now have to focus on alleviating the plight of persons
affected by HIV/AIDS, while promoting greater prevention and education. The funds will boost those of the BNTF’s principle
financial backer, the Caribbean Development Bank (CDB). An estimated EC$14.8 million will be spent on poverty alleviation
under Phase 5.

NATIONAL HAZARD MITIGATION POLICY
Second Draft Policy Document
PREFACE
This National Hazard Mitigation Policy document was prepared through a collaborative undertaking by the Government of
Saint Lucia, the Caribbean Disaster Emergency Response Agency (CDERA) and the Caribbean Development Bank (CDB).
The Project for developing the Policy document was initiated by a three-day workshop entitled Model Hazard Mitigation Policy
Adaptation which was held in May 2003 and comprised broad representation of a cross section of the public and private
sectors. Subsequently, a Policy Development Committee (PDC) was formed and an independent consultant recruited to
coordinate the formulation and documentation of the Policy.
The PDC developed a work plan to collect information, formulate and review the various drafts of the Policy document. A
number of PDC meetings were held under the general guidance of the chairperson - Ms. Dawn French, Director of the
National Emergency Management Organisation (NEMO), Saint Lucia. The CDERA-CDB Model National Hazard Mitigation
Policy document 1 was used as a broad template in developing the Policy document. The CDB appointed Hazard Mitigation
Policy Consultant reviewed the first draft of the Policy document as well as provided general guidance in its preparation.
The second draft was then sent to the National Hazard Mitigation Council for comments and advice. In order to develop a
more comprehensive and participative approach to hazard mitigation in Saint Lucia, a national consultation on the first draft
Policy document was held on —— September 2003 to provide an opportunity for the public to comment on the Policy during
the drafting stage. In that regard, the various Government ministries, statutory agencies, private sector organizations, nongovernment
organizations, Christian organizations, unions and other representatives 2 including regional agencies and
service groups were invited to attend the national consultation. The first draft of the Policy document was also circulated to
all public libraries as well as the Saint Lucia Gazette and posted on Government’s website to encourage open public
comments.
Based on the national consultation, a second draft of the Policy document was developed. The second draft was then sent
to the National Emergency Management and Advisory Council for their comments prior to submission to the cabinet of
Ministers for their approval.
The Project for developing the Policy document was jointly financed by CDERA through its Caribbean Hazard Mitigation
Capacity Building Programme and CDB through its Disaster Mitigation Facility.

Climate Change – Change observed in the climate on a global, regional or sub-regional scale caused by natural processes
and/or human activity. Climate change adaptation is an adjustment in natural or human systems in response to actual or
expected climatic stimuli or their effects, which moderates harm or exploits beneficial opportunities.
Disaster – A serious disruption of the functioning of a community or a society, causing widespread human, material,
economic or environmental losses which exceed the ability of the affected community/society to cope using only its own
resources. Disasters are often classified according to their cause (natural or manmade).
Hazard – A potentially damaging physical event, phenomenon and or human activity, which may cause the loss of life or
injury, property damage, social and economic disruption or environmental degradation.
Hazard Analysis/Assessment – Identification, study and monitoring of any hazard to determine its potentiality, origin,
characteristics and behaviour.
Hazard Mitigation – Structural and non-structural measures undertaking to limit the adverse impact of natural hazards,
environmental degradation and technological hazards. In climate change terminology, hazard mitigation is synonymous with
adaptation to some degree.
Hazard Risk Management – The systematic management of administrative decisions, organization, operational skills and
responsibilities to apply policies, strategies and practices for hazard risk reduction.
Hazard Risk Reduction – The development and application of policies, procedures and capacities by the society and
communities to lessen the negative impacts of possible natural hazards and related environmental and technological
disasters. This includes structural and non-structural measures to avoid (prevention) or to limit (mitigation and preparedness)
adverse impact of hazards, as well as the development of coping capabilities.
Natural Hazard – Natural Processes or phenomena occurring in the biosphere that may constitute a damaging event.
Risk – The probability of harmful consequences, or expected loss (of lives, people injured, property, livelihoods, economic
activity disrupted or environment damage) resulting from interactions between natural or human induced hazards and
vulnerable/capable conditions. Conventionally, risk is expressed by the equation Risk = Hazards x Vulnerability/Capacity.
Stakeholders – Persons or entity holding grants, concessions, or any other type of value that would be affected by a
particular action or policy.
Sustainable Development – Development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future
generations to meet their own needs. It contains within it two key concepts: the concept of “needs”, in particular the essential
needs of the world’s poor, to which overriding priority should be given; and the idea of limitation imposed by the state of
technology and social organization on the environment’s ability to meet present and the future needs.
Technological Hazards (Man-Made Hazards) – Danger originating from technological or industrial accidents, dangerous
procedures, infrastructure failures or certain human activities, which may cause the loss of life or injury, property damage,
social and economic disruption or environmental degradation.
Vulnerability – A set of conditions and processes resulting from physical, social, economic, and environmental factors,
which increase the susceptibility of a community to the impact of hazards

1.0 INTRODUCTION
Saint Lucia is highly vulnerable to a number of natural and man-made hazard events with the potential for substantial loss of
life and property damage. These hazard events include hurricanes, floods, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, fires, marine
accidents involving oils and hazardous material spills as well as other man-made hazards. Additionally, there is growing
concern about the vulnerability of Saint Lucia to the non-traditional threat of climate change and sea level rises.
Experience from previous disasters has indicated that the potential impact of hazards is severe, particularly in terms of losses
to lives. Whilst some hazard events are inevitable and cannot be prevented or controlled, mitigation measures can serve to
reduce the impacts of these hazards and offer many potential sustained benefits over time. With respect to the slow and
cumulative deleterious effects of the non-traditional hazard of climate change, adaptation measures have the potential to
lessen the impacts thereby resulting in significant benefits.
It is against this background that the National Hazard Mitigation Policy has been developed as a strategic instrument for hazard
mitigation to be integrated into all aspect of public and private sector activities including those of local community groups. The
development of the Policy will serve to ensure that programmes for hazard mitigation are carried out according to clear
objectives and common approaches. Further, the Policy will facilitate the more effective use of scarce technical and financial
resources in a comprehensive approach to disaster management in Saint Lucia.
It is not the intention of the Policy to address disaster preparedness and response issues. It is therefore critical that those
components of comprehensive disaster management be implemented simultaneously with the Policy in order to achieve
effective long-term hazard mitigation.
2.0 BACKGROUND
2.1 Status of Hazard Vulnerability
Historically, hurricanes and flooding have been the most likely hazard to affect Saint Lucia. Tropical Storm Debbie in 1994,
resulted in losses over EC$230 million 1 . The Tropical Wave of October 1996 also incurred an estimated EC$12 million in
damages to properties and infrastructure.
The uncontrolled or untimely releases of dam water due to weather conditions, natural forces and other causes may lead to
flash flooding in downstream areas and eventually destruction of properties and loss of lives.
There is general consensus that the world is entering a stage of significant global climate change. Some of the hazard related
issues are sea level rise, increased frequency and severity of large storms or hurricane events as well as reduced rainfall. Sea
level rise has dramatic adverse impacts; the most apparent being shoreline erosion and flooding which may occur. This has
serious implications for Saint Lucia as the towns, villages and City are located in the coastal areas which have major
infrastructure and substantial amounts of properties.
By virtue of its geographic location, Saint Lucia is susceptible to earthquakes and seismic hazards. Many of the tremors pass
unnoticed; however, strong shocks of magnitude 7.5 have been recorded. Also, the Soufriere Volcano has demonstrated its
ability to produce violent and destructive eruptions causing serious damage to life and property. Since the last major eruption
was over 200 years ago, one of such magnitude is considered less likely in the near future. However, small and moderate
eruptions are more likely to occur.
Marine traffic, especially oil tankers and cruise vessels in transit through coastal waters in the Atlantic Ocean and Caribbean
Sea present the risk of oil pollution from marine accidents. Such pollution can threaten recreational areas, sea birds, marine
life, coastal installations and fisheries. Also, oil tankers en route to the Hess Oil’s multi million-barrel storage facility in the
south of Castries pose serious threat to the entire coastline.
The history of Saint Lucia is marred by fires. These fires which may start by natural causes such as lightening or indiscriminate
human actions can usually cause significant damage to bush or grasslands and forests that cover extensive areas. In
addition, the environment is at risk from terrestrial activities, which would include the transportation, storage and use of
hydrocarbons and other hazardous materials and waste. Potential pollution sources include garage’s workshops, service
stations and industrial installations; many of which lack suitable procedures or facilities to prevent uncontrolled discharge into
the environment.
2.2 Overview of Existing Enabling Legislations
There are a number of existing legislations which support and encourage the issue of hazard mitigation. The main existing
enabling legislation which supports the proposed Hazard Mitigation Policy relates to the legal, regulatory and administrative
frameworks for the role of NEMO. The Disaster Preparedness and Response Act # 13 of 2000, based on the CDERA Model was
approved in August 2000 and gives emergency management responsibilities to NEMO, its Director, members and subcommittees
including NHMC and NEMAC.
SAINT LUCIA GOVERNMENT GAZETTE — MONDAY 8 SEPTEMBER, 2003 ISSUE 37 1357

Other legislations which support hazard mitigation include the Emergency Powers (Disaster) Act of 1995 of Saint Lucia and the
Constitution (Order 1978). The draft Emergency Shelter Management Policy provides a basis for undertaking hazard mitigation
actions within available resources. Additionally, there are a few policies which have some supporting implications for
hazard mitigation. These include the recently approved Climate Change Policy and Adaptation Plan, as well as the draft Water
Policy and Land Use Policy. 2
2 Current Hazard Mitigation Efforts
A number of initiatives have been taken by the Government in order to reduce the impact of damage due to hazards. The
National Emergency Management Office is in the process of revising the National Hazard Mitigation Plan to reflect an appreciation
and commitment to hazard risk reduction.
A national Building Code is currently being developed to improve the construction quality of structures in order to minimise the
impact of hazard events on the Island’s infrastructure and properties. In that regard, the new Planning Act would provide the
supporting legislative framework under which the Building Code would be implemented.
With funding from the CDB, two major hazard mitigation projects have been/are being implemented. These include the
Improvement of the Drainage Systems in Castries and Anse La Raye; the construction of the Castries River Wall and the Vieux
Fort East Drainage projects. Also, under the World Bank/OECS Emergency Recovery and Disaster Management Project a
number of projects have been/are being undertaken. These include the Hewanorra Airport Flood Protection Works, Bridges
and Rivers Training. Cul de Sac Prevention Works, Supplementary Reservoir for Victoria Hospital, Disaster Management
Programme for schools and libraries, Study and Design of Coastal Protection for Dennery Village.
In post Tropical Storm Debbie (1994) Government undertook a series of special hazard mitigation initiatives 3 within the
respective Ministries. With the advent of the Tropical Wave of 1996 these Ministries were again called upon to revisit the actions
of two years before.
Understandably, most of these disaster management efforts have tended to focus on a post-disaster approach which is
essential in disaster response, recovery and rehabilitation. However, there is a need to place greater emphasis on the longerterm
hazard mitigation that would serve to minimise the impacts of future disasters and engender a more comprehensive
approach to disaster management in Saint Lucia. Additionally, whereas the current development planning process provides a
supporting framework for the coordination of hazard mitigation, there is a need for more effective integration of hazard mitigation
measures into all aspect of public and private sector activities including local community groups.
3.0 POLICY CONTEXT
The context in which the Hazard Mitigation Policy will operate is based on the underlying belief that reduction in vulnerability can
significantly minimize the deleterious impacts of hazards on the economic, social and environmental fabric of Saint Lucia. This
reduction in vulnerability and consequently savings in long-term costs can lead to sustainable development of the Island.
In view of this context, existing initiatives at the national, regional and international levels provide an enabling framework for
hazard mitigation. At the national level, NEMO’s Disaster Preparedness and Response legislation and the various disaster
management plans have given significant impetus to government’s commitment to the principles of hazard mitigation.
Through its active participation in regional conventions, the Government of Saint Lucia has taken a number of activities in
support of hazard mitigation. Some of these conventions include inter-alia, the Strategy and Results Framework for Comprehensive
Disaster Management in the Caribbean (2001) and the CDERA Model Disaster Management Legislation (1996). At the
international level, the Government of Saint Lucia is also signatory to a number of conventions including the Basel Convention
on the Trans-Boundary Movement of Hazardous Wastes and Their Disposal (1993) as well as the United Nations’ conventions
on Biological Disasters (1993) and Climate Change.
4.0 CHALLENGES TO IMPLEMENTATION OF THE POLICY
The major challenge to be addressed in implementing the Hazard Mitigation Policy is the need to inculcate a hazard mitigation
ethos within the public and private sector organisations and more importantly, in local community groups. This has far
reaching implications for the technical and human resources required to implement the Policy. More specifically, the administrative,
institutional and legislative framework for hazard mitigation would need to be upgraded particularly with respect to
human capacity.
Also, there is a need for public education and outreach in order to strengthen relations and attitudes within community groups,
private sector organisations and civil society who are useful partners in the formulation and implementation of hazard mitigation
measures. An overriding challenge to implementation of the Policy is the requirement for funding and the upgrading of
information system to support multi-sectoral decision-making in the implementation of hazard mitigation programmes.
1358
SAINT LUCIA GOVERNMENT GAZETTE — MONDAY 8 SEPTEMBER 2003 ISSUE 37

5.0 GUIDING PRINCIPLES
The review of the existing hazard vulnerabilities, current hazard mitigation initiatives taken as well as lessons learnt from past
disasters indicates that there are a number of issues which needs to be considered in developing the Policy. Therefore, the
following five guiding principles will be used to underpin the strategy in order to address those issues:
i. Hazard risk management integrated in development planning
ii.
iii.
iv.
Minimising risks to the environment
Fostering stakeholder participation and collaboration
The need for public awareness and capacity building
v. Hazard mitigation is an investment in sustainable development
(i)
Hazard Risk Management Integrated In Development Planning
Hazard mitigation is more effective when integrated into the economic, social and environmental aspects of development
plans for all sectors of the economy. An integrated approach is important in minimising the use and cost of limited technical
administrative and financial resources. In addition, this approach serves to reduce any potential conflicts in policy development
and promote coordination among all stakeholders groups in hazard mitigation.
(ii) Minimise Risks to the Environment
Hazard mitigation presents several opportunities for preventing damage to the environment. It also serves to improve environmental
management by lessening the impact of hazards on the environment. Further, hazard mitigation measures that
minimise risks to the environment provide feasible long-term approaches to hazard risks reduction and have the potential to
optimise future benefits to the nation.
(iii) Maximum Stakeholder Participation and Collaboration
In order to be successful, it is necessary that hazard mitigation involve the full participation of all stakeholders including, the
local communities, private sector partners, non-governmental organisations, regional and international agencies. A multistakeholder
approach is based on mutual respect and responsibility, which is essential from an early stage in order to gain
genuine support and partnership in reducing the future vulnerabilities to hazards.
(iv) The Need for Public Awareness and Capacity Building
Hazard mitigation is most effective when it increases public awareness and has full public support at all levels of local
stakeholder groups. It is important to strengthen the capacities of communities and institutions in order to develop a full
appreciation of the extent of hazards vulnerability and risks. Strengthening public awareness and mobilising capacities also
serves as a mechanism for the support of implementation of hazard mitigation measures within a comprehensive disaster
management framework.
(v) Hazard Mitigation Is an Investment in Sustainable Development
Hazard mitigation is consistent with sustainable development. Current investments in proactive measures to limit the impact
of hazards result in a reduction in disaster losses and consequently a decline in the future cost of recovery as well as faster
disaster recovery time. The reduction in the demand for future post-disaster investments leads to the long-term social,
economic, financial and environmental development as well as recurring benefits to future generations.
6.0 POLICY STATEMENT
Saint Lucia is vulnerable to a wide range of hazards events that could lead to severe social, economic and environmental
damages to our nation. However, hazard mitigation can significantly reduce the vulnerabilities to these hazard events. Therefore
in striving to become resilient, hazard mitigation measures that incorporate the broad principles of sustainable development
will be pursued.
6.1 Vision Statement
A nation highly resistant to hazard impacts and adaptable to hazard risks.
SAINT LUCIA GOVERNMENT GAZETTE — MONDAY 8 SEPTEMBER, 2003 ISSUE 37 1359

6.2 Policy Goals
In order to achieve the vision, the goals of the Policy are to:
(i)
(ii)
Develop social, economic, and environmentally sustainable processes which minimise the risks of hazards.
Incorporate hazard risk reduction in everyday activities at every level of society.
6.3 Policy Objectives
The objectives of the Hazard Mitigation Policy are to:
1. Encourage the incorporation of hazard mitigation measures in all corporate and development planning initiatives
and programme budgets.
2. Foster a collaborative approach to hazard risk reduction among all stakeholder groups.
3. Develop an effective and comprehensive legislative framework that supports hazard mitigation.
4. Empower local community groups and institutions to undertake hazard mitigation measures.
5. Increase the awareness at every level of society and encourage their involvement in hazard risk reduction.
7.0 STRATEGY
The policy is centered on the belief that a culture of hazard mitigation is critical to achieving sustainable development particularly
in a Small Island Developing State. The strategy emerging from this belief is the integration of hazard mitigation measures
in all aspects of economic, social, physical and environmental aspects of development planning. The strategy will require the
full participation of private and public sector organisations as well as the collaborative involvement of local community groups
and institutions in hazard mitigation measures.
8.0 PRIORITY AREAS FOR ACTION
Five broad priority areas have been identified for action. These priority areas provide the platform for the development of the
strategic interventions necessary to implement the Policy. The priority areas are:
i. Encourage the incorporation of hazard mitigation measures in all corporate and development planning initiatives
and programme budgets.
