Comprehensive disaster management (CDM) strategy and programme framework 2007-2012
This document presents a programme framework for an enhanced approach to comprehensive disaster management (CDM) in the Caribbean. It is intended to emphasize disaster loss reduction through risk management, and to follow a more programme based approach (PBA) with an emphasis on results based management (RBM). Priority outcomes have been determined and associated outputs suggested to cover a five-year period, that is 2007-2012.
The CDM process was initiated in 2001 to enhance disaster management in CDERA member countries.
