Calliaqua residents to discuss implementation of Caribbean Community Risk Information Tool

A meeting will be held on Wednesday in Calliaqua to discuss the implementation of the Caribbean Community Risk Information Tool (CCRIT).

The CCRIT is a community-based data collection tool that uses quantitative geospatial data and qualitative community socio-demographic data. It facilitates the identification of potential hazards and associated socio-economic vulnerabilities that can affect the respective communities.

Calliaqua is identified as one of the three most vulnerable communities based on the application of the tool in St Vincent and the Grenadines.

The meeting is being hosted by the National Emergency Management Organisation (NEMO) in collaboration with the Caribbean Disaster Emergency Management Agency (CDEMA) Coordinating Unit and the University of the West Indies

Residents of Calliaqua and surrounding areas are asked to make a special effort to attend this community meeting on Wednesday, August 23, beginning at 5:30 p.m at the Calliaqua Town Hall.
