Graduate Studies and Research
REGIONAL SERVICES The Office of Research facilitates the University’s response to governments in the Caribbean during the hurricane season. The Office supported engineers, public health and psycho-social responses to hurricane impacts in the Caribbean. The Office of Research collaborated with the Disaster Risk Reduction Centre to develop a Volunteer for Services form and information letter to be sent out to The UWI Community for persons to indicate their willingness to assist in the event of a natural disaster. Their information will be kept on file to facilitate travel and accommodation arrangements in order to render assistance to those communities in need.
