The Caribbean is highly vulnerable to natural disasters and climate-related hazards that can disrupt education, damage school infrastructure, and affect learning continuity. To address these risks, CDEMA, with support from UNICEF, developed the online Safe Schools: Disaster Risk Reduction and Resilience course to strengthen school safety and disaster preparedness among education professionals. Building on the success of the online course, this initiative aims to develop a competency-based, face-to-face training programme that emphasizes practical skills, peer learning, and school-level action planning. The resulting training package will serve as a standardized regional resource that can be adapted and delivered by Ministries of Education and other institutions to strengthen the resilience and preparedness of education systems across the Caribbean.
