Belize's First Responders Get Caricom Disaster Response Training

More than 40 of Belize's front-line emergency response personnel graduated from an intensive, week-long disaster management program, as part of readiness exercises for the 2026 hurricane season. The CARICOM Disaster Relief Unit National Training Programme concluded with a certification ceremony in Belmopan following a rigorous agenda that united the Belize Defence Force, Coast Guard, National Fire Service, and the Belize Search and Rescue Institute.

The training, conducted through a partnership between CDEMA and NEMO, included hands-on exercises in emergency logistics, telecommunications, and post-disaster engineering.
