Stories of Disaster Recovery: Voices from Hurricane Dorian
The Centre for Biosecurity Studies will host the next edition of its Quarterly Lecture Series on Wednesday, May 19th at 1:00 p.m. (EST) under the theme “Stories of Disaster Recovery: Voices from Hurricane Dorian”.
As the 2021 Atlantic Hurricane Season approaches, join us via Zoom for this webinar event as we highlight some of the local voices of the Bahamian experience with the passage of Hurricane Dorian in 2019, set against a broader discussion around climate risk in the Caribbean. A lesson for all, this esteemed panel of speakers will address what every Caribbean state should be planning and preparing for – especially amid the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Presenting in the forum will be:
- The Hon. Adrian Gibson, M.P. Executive Chairman, The Bahamas Water and Sewerage Corporation
