CDERA

The Caribbean Disaster Emergency Response Agency (CDERA) is an inter-regional supportive network of independent emergency units throughout the Caribbean region.

The participating member states and agencies of the CDERA include:

*AIA::"Unknown / Only a coordinator"

*ATG::"National Office of Disaster Services (NODS)"

*BRB::"Central Emergency Relief Organization (CERO)"

*BHS::"Disaster Management Unit"

*BLZ::"National Emergency Management Organisation (NEMO)"

*IVB::"Department of Disaster Management"

*DMA::"Office of Disaster Management (ODM)"

*GRD::"National Disaster Management Agency (NaDMA)"

*GUY::"Civil Defense Commission"

*JAM::"Office of Disaster Preparedness and Emergency Management (ODPEM)"

*MSR::"Disaster Management Coordination Agency"

*SKN::"National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA)"

*LCA::"National Emergency Management Organisation (NEMO)"

*VIN::"National Emergency Management Organisation (NEMO)"

*TRI::"National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA)"

Activities

In recent years the role of the CDERA has been mostly to provide assistance to member territories after the passage of particularly fierce hurricanes. Such roll out of CDERA personnel was witnessed for Grenada and Jamaica in early September, 2004 after the passage of Hurricane Ivan.

During the mid 1990s, the sudden eruption by the Soufriere Hills volcano in Montserrat also caused the CDERA to spring into action, to provide additional support to the people on the island. The Caribbean Disaster Emergency Response Agency (CDERA) also regularly monitors the Soufriere Hills volcano, in addition to the active undersea volcano named Kick-'em-Jenny to the north of Grenada.

In situations of emergency where a military force might be needed, members of the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States and Barbados may likely turn to the Eastern Caribbean Regional Security System [http://www.rss.org.bb/] for assistance, while then possibly using the CDERA as a backup support agency to the RSS.
