The 'Small Island Developing States' (SIDS) of the Caribbean are at the frontline of our changing environment and strategies to respond and cope with their consequences are now of paramount importance. The damage from the hurricanes of 2017 demonstrate starkly the challenge such countries face in dealing with recurrent high intensity hazards; on average the Caribbean incurs $835 million of losses from hurricanes per annum. This is in addition to the challenges posed by 'everyday' risks e.g. slope stability, water resources and the rainy season where longer term planning is blighted by the annualised expenditure subsequently incurred. Swift, strong, and inclusive recovery reduces impact on livelihoods and well-being and improves resilience towards future events. Attention to re-building strong physical infrastructure is important, but, long term benefits accumulate faster when strategies are inclusive and clearly tailored to the local cultural, social and physical environment (Hallegatte et al., 2018). This underpins the 'leave no one behind' strategy of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and demands disaster risk reduction strategies that place a strong emphasis on a wide range of knowledges as set out by the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction (2015-2030). Our recent research includes three fundamental findings: (1) cultural responses to hazardous events in the Caribbean contain powerful knowledge about impacts, response and recovery and (2) the process of their transmission provides a strong mechanism to include communities in their own preparedness and recovery. (3) the historical as well as the recent past contains important knowledge that deepens understanding of how and why people place themselves in areas of high risk (problems) but reveals important strategies or moments when national and international response acted to counteract the impacts of hazardous events (solutions). The aim of this 'Follow-on-Fund' proposal is to share these findings to highlight the importance of cultural and historical knowledge in disaster risk reduction in the Caribbean. We want to put our research to work to help shape effective strategies, both directly in a country where they are responding to future hydro-meteorological risks while recovering from a geophysical disaster (Montserrat) and indirectly in the United Kingdom via agencies responsible for providing support and advice during and after hazardous events.We will create a new exhibit for communities on Montserrat, working throughout with MVO, involving the Montserrat Red Cross and Montserrat National Trust to access a wide cross-section of local views. However, we want to push this engagement further: our findings do not just map out a means for a more inclusive approach to sharing disaster risk reduction information locally, but contain positive experiences of transformation and coping that could inform policy and disaster response at an international level. Thus we also want to create an exhibit for the UK, demonstrating our findings across Dominica, St. Vincent and Montserrat aimed at those responsible for shaping response and policy in the English-speaking SIDS in the Caribbean. To do this we are working with the Overseas Development Institute, creating new partnerships with the British Red Cross, and responding to advice from the Emergency Response Team from the Department for International Development. Collectively, we will work together to understand how to create effective engagement. Finally, we will draw both elements together using a website as a digital tool to bridge between the different communities, as a means to further enhance conversations between these groups and to document and continue the process of sharing and learning, including our own.

加勒比的“小岛屿发展中国家"处于我们不断变化的环境的前沿，应对和科普其后果的战略现在至关重要。2017年飓风造成的损失清楚地表明这些国家在应对经常性高强度灾害方面面临的挑战;加勒比地区平均每年遭受飓风损失8.35亿美元。除此之外，还有“日常”风险带来的挑战，例如斜坡稳定性，水资源和雨季，其中较长期的规划受到随后发生的年度支出的影响。快速、强劲和包容性的复苏可以减少对生计和福祉的影响，提高对未来事件的抵御能力。重视重建强大的物质基础设施很重要，但是，如果战略具有包容性，并明确针对当地的文化、社会和物质环境，则长期利益积累得更快（Hallegatte等人，2018年）。这是联合国可持续发展目标“不让任何人掉队”战略的基础，并要求减少灾害风险战略高度重视《仙台减少灾害风险框架（2015-2030年）》所规定的广泛知识。我们最近的研究包括三个基本发现：（1）加勒比地区对危险事件的文化反应包含关于影响、反应和恢复的强大知识;（2）其传播过程提供了一个强有力的机制，使社区参与其自身的备灾和恢复。(3)历史和最近的过去包含了重要的知识，加深了对人们如何和为什么将自己置于高风险地区（问题）的理解，但也揭示了国家和国际应对措施采取行动以抵消危险事件影响的重要战略或时刻（解决方案）。这一“后续基金”提案的目的是分享这些调查结果，以突出文化和历史知识在加勒比减少灾害风险方面的重要性。我们希望将我们的研究付诸实践，以帮助制定有效的战略，无论是直接在一个国家，他们正在应对未来的水文气象风险，同时从地球物理灾难中恢复我们将为蒙特塞拉特社区举办一个新的展览，自始至终与蒙特塞拉特志愿者组织合作，蒙特塞拉特红十字会和蒙特塞拉特国家信托基金参与了这一项目，以广泛听取当地各方面的意见。然而，我们希望进一步推动这种参与：我们的研究结果不仅为在当地分享减少灾害风险信息的更具包容性的方法制定了一种手段，而且还包含了转型和应对的积极经验，可以为国际层面的政策和灾害应对提供信息。因此，我们还想为联合王国举办一个展览，展示我们在多米尼克、圣文森特和蒙特塞拉特的调查结果，对象是负责制定加勒比讲英语的小岛屿发展中国家的对策和政策的人。为此，我们正在与海外发展研究所合作，与英国红十字会建立新的伙伴关系，并对国际发展部紧急反应小组的建议作出回应。我们将共同努力，了解如何创造有效的参与。最后，我们将利用网站作为不同社区之间的数字工具，将这两个要素结合在一起，作为进一步加强这些群体之间对话的手段，并记录和继续分享和学习的过程，包括我们自己的。
