As we all know the countries and territories of the Caribbean were hit by a series of Hurricanes in September. Since then, a small team from the IAOS, the ISI and Statistics without Borders (SwB) have been working with regional partners such as Caricom and the Inter-American Statistical Institute (IASI) to identify areas where the NSOs may need help.
There is an urgent need to help with mapping of many of the critical disaster hit areas, assess the current status of the statistical offices/agencies worst affected by the disasters, as well as more general support to help the region reduce its data vulnerability.
