Caribbean Virtual Disaster Library

A collaborative effort between the Caribbean Disaster Information Network (CARDIN) at UWI Library, the Unit for Disaster Studies (UDS) at UWI Department of Geography and Geology and the Regional Disaster Information Center for Latin America and the Caribbean (CRID).

This virtual library offers full text documents as well as presentations, maps, audio and video clips related specifically to the Caribbean region, making it truly one-of-a-kind resource

  

Note: Many documents are large and may take several minutes to load.

Most documents are in .pdf format, and require a pdf reader (such as Adobe) to view.
