The mid–term review retrospectively examines HFA implementation in the Caribbean between 2005 and 2010. It aims to share the Caribbean experience in mainstreaming disaster risk reduction as a contribution to the mid–term evaluation of the HFA.
 

The findings of the review show that progress has been made in areas of: hazard mapping and its application to development planning; monitoring and warning systems and preparedness; development  of  institutional  and  legal  frameworks;  community–based  disaster  management  (CBDM) programmes; public education and information dissemination, and; recognition of the importance of  forecasting of climate change effects to Disaster Risk Management (DRM).
