Cooperative Agreement
Overview
Grant Description
Recent extreme weather events in the Caribbean highlight the importance of the interdependencies of the critical infrastructure systems, which often lead to catastrophic failures of physical assets followed by severe adverse impacts on the health and wellbeing of their inhabitants.
Island communities such as the US territories of the Virgin Islands (USVI) and Puerto Rico (PR) are profoundly impacted by climate extremes, which are compounded by their geographic isolation that disrupts supply chains and emergency responses.
These communities are also hindered by a complex governance structure composed of layers of federal and territorial bureaucracies frequently leading to ineffective decisions.
This US Caribbean RISA team seeks to address these issues by bringing together a multidisciplinary team of universities, agencies, and non-governmental organizations based out of the Caribbean region and the US.
The team will enhance and expand partnerships through the development and convening of collaborative research projects, capacity-building activities, and knowledge sharing initiatives.
