Where We Work
We currently operate in Latin America and the Caribbean, with a focus on the Caribbean Basin. We also provide targeted support in the South Pacific.
Why Latin America and the Caribbean?
The Latin American and Caribbean region is the second-most disaster-prone region in the world (after the South Pacific) and one of the most impacted and vulnerable to climate change – exposed to a wide variety of hazards, including earthquakes, volcanoes, storms, extreme temperatures, droughts, floods, landslides, and more.
The strengths of the Caribbean Basin’s disaster management structure are rooted in the region's experience and preparedness, leadership in advocacy related to climate change, and leveraging of technology and communication systems to enhance disaster response efforts. GSD seeks to share its capabilities with existing regional and national efforts to strengthen response to disasters, minimize the impact of natural hazards and support them to prepare for future disasters.
Strength through partnership
Strong regional partnerships play a crucial role in leveraging local knowledge, resources, and networks, empowering GSD to amplify communities' disaster preparedness and response capabilities.
What we do
Global Support and Development (GSD) is a humanitarian organization whose mission is to rapidly respond to disasters in collaboration with communities at risk for natural disaster and support them to prepare for future disasters. We seek opportunities to amplify and augment existing efforts, fill gaps, share knowledge, and support locally led preparedness initiatives. Our team also has a wide range of ways we can support disaster response to assist communities in the immediate aftermath of disasters.
