Manage episode 477117617 series 2542799
In this episode, Anthea McLaughlin from the Caribbean Philanthropic Alliance helps to reshape our understanding of disaster relief and philanthropy across the Caribbean's 22 nations. Together they explore how strategic, year-round support builds stronger communities that can withstand increasingly severe climate events.
- Caribbean philanthropy isn't just for wealthy donors but is deeply embedded in community practices
- The disaster cycle requires attention before, during and after hurricanes through mitigation, preparation and recovery
- Organizations like CDEMA coordinate regional disaster response while civil society organizations implement on the ground
- Women are particularly vulnerable during disasters yet lead many community resilience efforts
- Mental health support is critically overlooked in disaster response but essential for long-term recovery
- The diaspora can have greater impact by pooling resources through trusted organizations
- Supporting Caribbean resilience creates a "multiplier effect" that strengthens global networks
- Building relationships with trusted organizations ensures donations reach intended communities
