In Barbados, older persons are no longer left behind when disasters loom.

Through inclusive risk communication and community-led action, seniors are now receiving early warnings they can understand, trust, and act on — helping save lives and reduce disaster risk. 🌪️📢

Older persons often face unique barriers to early warning systems, from limited digital access to unclear messaging. In Barbados, government agencies and community organisations are working together to close that gap — using trusted networks, clear language, and accessible technology to reach those most at risk.

This approach shows why inclusive early warning systems matter. When warnings are designed for everyone — including older persons — communities become safer, stronger, and better prepared for disasters.
