The Office of Disaster Management (ODM) website has undergone a radical makeover!
Today, the ODM launched an innovative, modern, informative and responsive website in partnership with the Commonwealth of Learning (COL) and the Climate Resilience Execution Agency for Dominica (CREAD).
In time for the 2022 Hurricane Season, the overhauled ODM website will now serve as a locally hosted open- source content management platform and a one-stop shop for all information related to emergency readiness and disaster preparedness. This project ran over an eight-month period and produced a dynamic website comparable to international standards.
Some of the many new interactive features include:
resources to help citizens understand climate change, learn about disaster preparedness, and ultimately become more resilient. This is another important step in Dominica’s journey to becoming a fully climate resilient nation by 2030 and COL is happy to have had a role in building public awareness and increasing resilience.”
Meanwhile, CREAD’s CEO, Francine Baron said CREAD is delighted to be a part of such an important and impactful initiative. “I am pleased with the work done to improve the ODM website since it serves among other things, as an official news and information source on climatic events, emergency readiness, disaster preparedness and response. The new ODM website certainly has greater appeal and functionality now, which will go a long way in the search, selection and distribution of critical data.”
National Disaster Coordinator (ag) Mandela Christian noted: “The ODM is grateful for the partnership with COL and CREAD to enhance the website and to strengthen this information sharing platform on Comprehensive Disaster Management and thank them for this intervention. The public will have access to a website that is more user friendly to support their preparedness planning.” He also extended appreciation to the staff of the ODM for their contribution in making this project a success.

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using ‘Content here, content here’, making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for ‘lorem ipsum’ will uncover many web sites still in their infancy.
