PIRAC- Charged.and WILL At French Red Cross

The Caribbean is one of the regions in the world most exposed to the risk of natural disasters: hurricanes, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, floods and tsunamis. The region is also characterized by high health risks linked to epidemic diseases. These major risks are exacerbated by various factors of vulnerability of populations and territories: insular nature, socio-economic fragility, complex migratory flows, urban densification and strong urban planning pressure. Furthermore, these risks of crises and disasters are increased by a process of climate change which influences the frequency, intensity but also the unpredictability of hazards, requiring a sustained effort and pace of adaptation from populations and institutions.

Created in 2005, the Americas-Caribbean Regional Intervention Platform (PIRAC) is the representative delegation of the French Red Cross for the Caribbean region and represents its operational system for humanitarian action and regional cooperation. PIRAC helps the populations of the Caribbean in all major disasters and works to develop actions to strengthen the resilience capacities of populations in the French countries and territories of the Caribbean arc and the Guiana plateau. Since its creation, PIRAC has implemented around forty emergency operations internationally but also in French territories.

The main large-scale humanitarian responses over the last 5 years led by PIRAC are:
– Hurricane Dorian in the Bahamas – 2019
– Regional Covid-19 epidemic / Regional dengue epidemic / Hurricanes Eta and Iota in Central America – 2020
– Volcanic eruption in Saint Vincent / Floods in Guyana / Earthquake in Haiti – 2021
– Tropical Storm Fiona in Guadeloupe
