Caribbean
In the first three weeks of September 2017 the Atlantic Ocean delivered three Category 5 Hurricanes to the northern islands in the Caribbean archipelago. These storms were the among the largest and most ferocious in recorded history. They chased each other through some of the most vulnerable landmasses in the world leaving a wide swath of death and destruction. The islands of the Caribbean, particularly the smaller ones, are extremely vulnerable to the threats of large and powerful hurricanes due to many factors including geography, poverty, international policy and most of all Climate Change. Their recovery and rebuilding will be long and challenging due to a lack of resources.
The need for help and attention is urgent but unfortunately the needs created by this disaster will continue for many years after the news channels and social media campaigns have moved on. The goal of this site is to provide it’s visitors with an understanding of the region, the critical needs and some of the ways to help the Caribbean rise now and for the long term.
