Jamaica’s comprehensive disaster risk management policy and strategy 2020-2040: Work plan #1
Jamaica’s Comprehensive Disaster Risk Management (CDRM) Policy is designed to ensure that by 2040, there exists ‘A Safe and Resilient Jamaica’. The Policy seeks to ensure that by 2040, Jamaica has strengthened its social and economic resilience, significantly reducing and in some cases eliminating the negative effects of disasters including those induced not only by natural hazards but also by climate change and man-made hazards.
This document represents the first three-year work plan for the implementation of Jamaica’s Comprehensive Disaster Risk Management Policy. Over the period to 2040 there will be seven three-year work plans. The work plan is an operational document to achieve realistic, specific, high priority CDRM outcomes and targets towards the achievement of the longer-term goals of the policy.
