DRM Authority

We were honoured to be welcomed by Commissioner Shanta Knowles on a courtesy call!

We are looking forward to a future of collaboration and resilience. #DisasterManagement #PartnershipForChange

This week, The DRM Authority hosted a key meeting led by USAID/BHA Food Security Specialist Monica Rodriquez to develop disaster-related food security guidelines. The Bahamas is one of six countries selected for this important initiative under the Regional Disaster Assistance Program (RDAP). Representatives involved in the national feeding network, including the Bahamas Christian Council, Hands for Hunger, Super Value, Red Cross, Salvation Army and more, came together with key government agencies such as Ministry of Health and Ministry of Agriculture to collaborate on strategies for ensuring food supply and distribution during emergencies. A special thank you to all attendees for their dedication to building resilience and strengthening food security in our nation! #DRMAuthorityBahamas #FoodSecurity #DisasterPreparedness #StrongerTogether Hands For Hunger Ministry of Agriculture & Marine Resources, Government of The Bahamas

Today, The DRM Authority celebrates the strength and resilience that define The Bahamian people. Together, we have proven time and time again that when we stand united, we can weather any storm. Our forefathers and mothers had the courage and determination to fight for a brighter future. We are a proud nation of dreamers and doers. Let's build the dream of a stronger, more resilient Bahamas together! Happy Majority Rule Day!

As we reflect on 2024, we are deeply grateful for the contributions and unwavering support of The Bahamian people and all of the DRM Authority's partners... like YOU. Together, we’ve made strides toward a more resilient and prepared Bahamas—safeguarding lives and empowering communities.  We approach 2025 filled with hope and determination for the work ahead. With your continued support, we look forward to building on our mission and making an even greater impact in our Bahama Islands in the coming year.  Wishing The Bahamas peace, joy, and prosperity in the New Year!

*2024: A Bold Beginning* It’s been an eventful first six months for the Disaster Risk Management (DRM) Authority. Since our operationalization in July, we’ve been focused on strengthening disaster preparedness across The Bahamas through strategic planning and extensive training. Our first hurricane season was a test, but thankfully, The Bahamas emerged with minimal impact. Seven hurricanes rapidly intensified in the Atlantic this season, a stark reminder of the growing power and unpredictability of storms and the importance of preparation. We’ve been dedicated to training our teams and communities, ensuring everyone is equipped to respond effectively when disaster strikes. We extend our deepest thanks to everyone who has been part of this journey—our dedicated staff, partners, and the Bahamian people. Your support and collaboration have been invaluable. As we look ahead to 2025, we remain committed to creating a stronger, safer Bahamas. #DRMAuthority #YearInReview #DisasterPreparedness #Bahamas #PreparedForAnything
