Every year, from June to November, the Caribbean area faces a dangerous period that becomes a real challenge for every one in tropical latitudes: the hurricane season. Global overheating and climate change in our planet cause a more active season each time, so hurricanes, tropical storms, tornadoes and other atmospheric events are frequently targeted as headlines for journalists and media organisations. Millions of dollars are spent on hurricane preparedness every year, but experts say it is not enough, because these are intense and very complex events, and sometimes people underestimate the potential destructive force of nature. Hurricanes Wilma, Katrina and Rita were lately clear examples. To reduce the impact of these meteorological events, the population in every country of the area must be well informed. In order to do the right thing at the right moment, people must be able to reach qualified information about forecasting, tracking and impact of the storm. Likewise, one must be well acquainted with the meaning of a good preparedness and the recovering phase following the storm. Evacuation tasks of human beings and goods assumed by agencies, local and national authorities, require a proper treatment by the media, regardless whether they are private or state-owned. Journalists and media organisations develop a key role as a reliable link between the population, the meteorologists and the Civil Defence authorities, so it is crucial that journalist are well trained in covering this kind of news, engage relations with local and regional weather centres in order to share information and also to maintain the live media coverage during these events. The project aims to train 50 journalists and media professionals from the Caribbean countries, in a four-day workshop on the issues of hurricane season coverage and to improve knowledge, quality preparedness and response to hurricanes and other weather disasters in the area.
