Implementation
• Lack of dedicated personnel (situation about to change)
• Aspects integrated in to ODPEM
![Page 28: Nicole A. Brown, ODPEM, Jamaica 5 th Caribbean Conference on Comprehensive Disaster Management](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070422/568164cf550346895dd6f8ad/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Emerging Trends and Issues • Process of developing partnership strategy
provided a forum for sharing beyond traditional boundaries
• Implementation partnerships can have positive spill-over effect on working relations within PDCs
![Page 29: Nicole A. Brown, ODPEM, Jamaica 5 th Caribbean Conference on Comprehensive Disaster Management](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070422/568164cf550346895dd6f8ad/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Emerging Trends and Issues
• Partnerships for project implementation under the BDRC can serve as a model for other initiatives at parish level and BDRC methodologies can be applied beyond the scope of the project
![Page 30: Nicole A. Brown, ODPEM, Jamaica 5 th Caribbean Conference on Comprehensive Disaster Management](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070422/568164cf550346895dd6f8ad/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Emerging Trends and Issues • The BDRC model has helped expanded
partnerships and strategic alliances at the parish level
• Improving the working relationships at the PDC level can serve as a platform for: helping refine the DRRM programme at the parish level
![Page 31: Nicole A. Brown, ODPEM, Jamaica 5 th Caribbean Conference on Comprehensive Disaster Management](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070422/568164cf550346895dd6f8ad/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Emerging Trends and Issues
• Partnerships for project implementation under the BDRC can serve as a model for other initiatives at parish level and BDRC methodologies can be applied beyond the scope of the project
![Page 32: Nicole A. Brown, ODPEM, Jamaica 5 th Caribbean Conference on Comprehensive Disaster Management](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070422/568164cf550346895dd6f8ad/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Emerging Trends and Issues • The current context requires a paradigm shift
away from traditional ways of thinking about disasters and about who has a role to play in DRRM
• Structural constraints continue to work against improved partnerships for DRRM
