Welcome to the Action on Disaster Relief (ADR2021) Post-Event Report where, GRV Global would like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank all those who participated in the 6th annual holding of this important forum (and first virtual); a series promoting discussion and solutions to regional disaster preparedness, relief and resilience efforts through public-private partnerships (PPPs). Following a hugely productive few days, this report contains a detailed overview of the various panel discussions, the pre-event procurement and post-event inter-agency workshops, and other activities/functions from GRV Global’s virtual platform.

GRV Global would like to pass on our sincere gratitude to the various Government, NGO, International & United Nations’ agency officials who participated in the discussions across the few days and were committed to meeting with event delegates throughout the morning and afternoon 1-2-1 matchmaking meeting sessions.

I would like to thank the Government of the Republic Panama and the Regional Logistics Center for Humanitarian Assistance (CLRAH) for their partnership, represented by H.E. Janaina Tewaney Mencomo, Minister of Government. I would also like to express sincere thanks to ADR2021’s Conference Chair, Ag. Executive Director of the Caribbean Disaster Emergency Management Agency (CDEMA) Ms. Elizabeth Riley, and for co-chairing our post-event inter-agency workshop. We are honoured to have had the Ministry of Government and CDEMA’s support and help since ADR’s inception in 2016 and look forward to the ongoing outcomes ahead.

These workshops were followed by two days of keynote addresses, spotlight presentations, and high-level discussion panels led by field experts and leading stakeholders, as well as 1-2-1 personable matchmaking meetings between public and private sector delegates, providing an opportunity to identify potential solutions, new technologies and partnerships.

The Action on Disaster Relief forum once again proved to be a great success, bringing likeminded officials and private-sector delegates together from across the Americas, Latin America and the Caribbean; video testimonials of which can be found later in this report. We welcomed 250 local and international participants and facilitated from governments, NGO stakeholders, UN and regional disaster agencies for high-level plenary sessions, keynote speeches, private 1-2-1 matchmaking meetings and a range of networking functions, to devise a plan of action furthering resilience across the LAC region.

A BIG THANK YOU TO ALL ADR PARTICIPANTS FOR THEIR COMMITMENT AND WILLINGNESS TO CHALLENGE OLD AND NEW IDEAS, AND TO FORM A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF DISASTER RELIEF AND PREVENTATIVE MEASURES IN A COLLABORATIVE FORWARD-THINKING MANNER

Looking at the panel discussions, of which there were 6 across the two days, each featuring live Q&A, panel 1 explored Disaster Risk Reduction & Preparedness stressing on the importance of communication and coordination at the local, regional, and international level during a disaster. Panellists discussed the significance of including community leaders (especially women and indigenous communities) in disaster planning and response given that spaces for civil society are shrinking. Panel 2 explored the theme of Resilience & Response also expanding on the importance

DISASTER RESPONSE IT’S IN OUR DNA

We’ve been moving cargo and passengers in and out of regions affected by disasters for the last three decades.

Over the past 30 years ACS has been a part of practically every global humanitarian logistics operation. From the Somalian civil war right up to the COVID pandemic, we have been first responders with aircraft charters carrying humanitarian aid and personnel. We are proud to have been able to truly make a difference.

of community building. Speakers discussed the importance of using existing information sharing systems to reach the community and gain their trust. They also emphasized the need to normalise information across all these platforms in local languages and ensure that communities can advocate for themselves at the policy level. Closing the first day of discussions was Panel 3 on Utilising Communications Solutions emphasizing the urgency in disaster response training of ICT personnel to effectively participate in response.

They also discussed new technology solutions in disaster response such as regional wide connectivity solution for area monitoring as a form of tracking early warning systems. The first day ended with a thematic online Forum Chat: Filling Gaps in Response Capacity Across the Caribbean: Regional & International Options hosted by Lt Col Anton Gash, Former Defence Attaché for the Caribbean of the British Army Day two’s Welcoming Remarks entitled “Welcoming Call for Action on the Humanitarian Blisters” came from Rogerio Mobilia Silva, Head of the Regional Office for Latin America and the Caribbean (ROLAC) a.i., of OCHA (the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs). Day two of ADR2021 also featured two video presentations. The first on “Humanitarian Hub: Facilitator of Alliances & Logistics Coordination” from Alberto Sierra, Director of the Regional Logistics Center for Humanitarian Assistance (CLRAH) in Panama; a facility ADR participants have had the opportunity to visit at previous Action on Disaster Relief meetings.

The second video was on “Intelsat FlexMove, the only high-throughput satellite connectivity solution for remote & challenging locations” given by Scott Congdon, Market Development & Partnership Management of Intelsat and Udani Pettersson, Sales & Service Design Director of Satcube AB.

ANDREW DOWELL CEO | GRV Global

The closing of the 6th annual Action on Disaster Relief forum ended with a hands-on Inter-Agency Workshop (officials and select sponsors only) Co-Chaired by Ms. Riley, Executive Director (Ag) of CDEMA and Lt Col Anton Gash, Former Defence Attaché for the Caribbean of the British Army. The workshop brought together the region’s leading disaster stakeholders for open discussion via 3 virtual breakout rooms with themes based on the topics of ADR’s preceding six panels (as detailed above). Participants identified challenges and obstacles facing the Latin America & Caribbean region, before considering potential solutions that had been discussed during ADR2021 and the 1-2-1 matchmaking meetings.

The workshop’s co-chairs and GRV Global are producing a summary document and action plan resulting from this summing-up element of the event and will be sharing it soon.

A big thank you to all ADR participants for their commitment and willingness to challenge old and new ideas, and to form a better understanding of disaster relief and preventative measures in a collaborative forward-thinking manner.

Lastly and by no means least, GRV Global would genuinely like to thank our ADR2021 Sponsors and delegates for their support and attendance without which, events of this magnitude and importance would simply not be possible.

The support shown by our partners and sponsors was emphatic and a true statement to the potential they see for disaster relief across the Latin America and Caribbean region. Thank you for joining us online and we look forward to hopefully welcoming you in person in 2022!

Stay safe and keep well.

The fourth panel discussion on Regional International Support brought together experts from leading international military forces in the Caribbean and civil actors providing on the ground support. Panellists contended that disaster management should not only be measured on the humanitarian level but also on military, tactical, and strategic level. When disaster strikes, it is crucial that humanitarian entities and civil society groups work alongside security and military forces. This was followed by Panel 5 on Technology & Effective Logistics which shed light on the disruption and challenges faced by many global suppliers in terms of logistics movements of personnel, PPE, shipments, as well as charter carries, supply chain and cold chain logistics. The final panel (6) brought together leading experts to discuss Health, Emergencies & Climate Change. Speakers reinstated the importance of partnering with the private sector in terms of bringing innovative and technical solutions to the fore and creating awareness in the market as well as helping in terms funding and resource mobilization. Panellists also discussed the adverse effect of climate change on the population leading to migration, nutrition, and health crisis. As the LAC region

continues to be exposed to devastating natural hazards and other challenges, local authorities, local communities, civil society groups, NGOs, INGOs, governments, military, and security forces, as well as the private sector need to work closely and collectively to ensure that necessary resources are allocated for the long-term resilience of its citizens.
