The United Kingdom on Wednesday signed an agreement with the Barbados-based Caribbean Disaster Emergency Management Agency (CDEMA) that will provide financial assistance to regional countries should they be impacted during the 2025 Atlantic Hurricane season that begins in June.
“As in the past, we commit to respond to any CDEMA request within 24 hours regarding the availability of funds, recognising the critical importance of timely and humanitarian action,” the British High Commissioner to Barbados and the Eastern Caribbean, Simon Mustard, said at the signing ceremony.
He told reporters that the agreement allows for US$375,000 to go towards any hurricane-affected member states of CDEMA to provide relief and that CDEMA already has US$50,000 upfront to allow for a quick response.
