The primary goal of the meeting was to support community hazard assessments and holistic risk management by identifying and assessing sources that could potentially generate dangerous tsunamis. These discussions are critical for the effective implementation of the Tsunami Ready Recognition Program across the Caribbean, ensuring that regions are prepared for and can respond to the threat of tsunamis.
Past meetings have successfully addressed similar issues, covering seismic and non-seismic tsunami sources in Central America, the Dominican Republic, Haiti, and the Lesser Antilles. This year’s meeting built on those efforts, bringing together experts to contribute to evacuation planning and improve regional resilience.
Jorge’s participation underscores the importance of international collaboration and expertise in advancing tsunami hazard understanding and mitigation strategies. Through these engagements, the DT-GEO project continues to contribute valuable insights into earthquake and tsunami monitoring and risk management in the Caribbean region.
