The French Red Cross operates in the Caribbean through the Regional Intervention Platform of the Americas-Caribbean (PIRAC), which allows it to concentrate skills and means of response as close as possible to vulnerable populations. This increases the responsiveness and capacity to respond in the event of a disaster and allows for rapid action. PIRAC has been supporting the Red Cross in the region in the implementation of various actions since 2000.
The Sendai Framework Voluntary Commitments (SFVC) online platform allows stakeholders to inform the public about their work on DRR. The SFVC online platform is a useful toolto know who is doing what and where for the implementation of the Sendai Framework, which could foster potential collaboration among stakeholders. All stakeholders (private sector, civil society organizations, academia, media, local governments, etc.) working on DRR can submit their commitments and report on their progress and deliverables.
