About
The Office of Disaster Preparedness and Management (ODPM) in Trinidad and Tobago was established in January 2005 as the National Disaster Office. Its primary role is to manage the disaster management cycle, which includes mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery. The ODPM coordinates national disaster risk management efforts, engages with various stakeholders, and serves as a liaison for disaster risk reduction across the region. Its vision is to become a world-renowned disaster coordinating agency, contributing to a disaster-ready and resilient nation.
