The Department of Geography & Geology collaborated with the Oversees Development Institute (ODI) and the UWI Seismic Research Centre to host a workshop at the 11th Caribbean Conference on Comprehensive Disaster Management (CDM) in Sint Maarten in December 2019. This was under the auspices of the Caribbean Resilience and Recovery Knowledge Network (CRRKN). The event titled: ‘Learning from disaster recovery: a forensic analysis’ brought together different stakeholders involved in recovery efforts after the eruption of the Soufrière Hills Volcano, Montserrat and Hurricane Maria’s devastation of Dominica. The meeting aimed to: (1) improve recovery planning, (2) translate lessons from past events into policy, and (3) change the fundamental understanding of recovery across the Caribbean.
