20/08/2018 08:05:54

Thursday, August 23, after a pause was observed, between July and August, because of the strong mobilization that the organization required the national hydrometeorological simulation exercise SIMEX, the Directorate of Civil Protection (DPC) will resume Léogâne, its national training tour of mayors of Haiti in risk management initiated last May.

Since the beginning of the tour, no less than 130 senior officials (departmental delegates, deputy district delegates and mayors) have participated in a series of workshops aimed at strengthening the capacity of communities to manage major climatic hazards, ranging from prevention efforts for coordinating and accompanying the population before, during and after a disaster.

As the main responsibles of communal risk management committees at the departmental and communal levels, participants are now better equipped to ensure the roles and functions of civil protection at the community level and for the benefit of the population.

This series of training workshops is financially supported by the US Agency for International Development's (USAID-OFDA) International Disaster Assistance Office, through a project implemented by the Catholic Relief Services (CRS).
