On Wednesday, June 16, the United States Embassy in Barbados along with other U.S. Embassies in the English-speaking Caribbean, joined the Caribbean Disaster Emergency Management Agency (CDEMA) and the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs to host a virtual session titled, “Producing Effective Video for Social Media.” The event is part of an ongoing Crisis Communication TechCamp, which is bringing together over 30 journalists, government information officers, disaster management professionals, and social media influencers from countries throughout the Eastern Caribbean with the aim of providing familiarity with digital tools and training to decipher disinformation in crisis situations such as natural disasters.

CDEMA’s Information and Communications Technology Manager, Mr. Oronde Lambert, remarked: “Our more than year-long experience with the COVID-19 pandemic, the recent eruption of the La Soufriere Volcano in St. Vincent, and the extensive ongoing flooding in Guyana and Suriname, underscore the multi-hazard environment that is now very much a part of our Caribbean reality. What this means is that we have remain vigilant and think outside the box, as it were, when it comes to our expectations of and communication around crises in this part of the world.”
