In a region beset by serial disasters, effective recovery from hazardous events is not just a worthy goal it is an imperative. The Caribbean Resilience and Recovery Knowledge Network will support a transformational approach towards post-disaster recovery in the Caribbean,particularly as it responds to the impacts of the 2017 hurricane season that caused $130 billion of losses in the region.A community of researchers, practitioners and policymakers is emerging, but at the moment their response is ad hoc and driven by divergent research or short-term aid goals. This generates locally useful outcomes, that alleviate the worst symptoms from the disasters, however they are collectively less effective at encouraging long term resilience to future events, strengthening ecosystems or reducing long-term vulnerabilities in poor or remote communities.The Caribbean Knowledge Network seeks to remedy this by creating a new culture for responding to and preparing for hazardous events. This is our principle aim. We will do this by joining together diverse researchers, and engaging with practitioners and policymakers from the outset. These groups are all motivated to come together and transform how we approach post-disaster recovery. The researchers (in the Caribbean and the UK) work on wide-ranging topics relevant to long term hazard resilience, connected by their desire to improve recovery from disasters. The practitioners bear responsibility for ensuring the best possible outcomes for communities at risk and face increasing challenges associated with climate change and environmental degradation in the region. The attention of donors and policymakers has been focussed by the recent systemic destruction from the 2017 hurricanes.Thus, the Network is both timely and needed. We have structured a series of mutually beneficial activities to help us achieve our overall aim, and associated objectives. The first of these will be a forensic workshop where we will bring our multiple perspectives to bear to understand what drove and hindered recovery following three key events (the 2017 hurricanes, the Haiti earthquake and long-term recovery following Hurricane Ivan). To reflect the multiple perspectives were are calling these forensic analyses, and this will be a great vehicle for learning from each others expertise and perspectives. This will run in the same location and just before the Annual Caribbean Disaster Management conference, which will provide further immediate feed-in to our conclusions. After that we will create some scenarios to help test, design and evaluate existing response and recovery plans for multiple types of hazard. We will visit several Caribbean countries to do this, and they will be co-designed with different social groups to ensure relevancy. These will be used to create new principles and strategies in each setting. While we are doing this we will run a series of webinars to discuss challenges hilighted by these two activities. We will make these freely accessible to participants throughout the Caribbean and further afield.The outcomes from all of this work will create our new community who will co-create a manifesto for research to transform recovery and use that to secure further funding. Importantly, however along the way we will also have created some tangible benefits which will ensure the longevity of the grouping and maximise its benefit. These are: (1) forensic analyses on several important disaster events, identifying priority actions and sets of principles; (2) flexible, tailored scenario exercises for local disaster practitioners so they can develop their own new strategies in response to these on four islands (3) the time and momentum to consider how to 'join up' strategies across the islands, critically in collaboration with regional and international agencies.

在一个受到一系列灾害困扰的地区，从危险事件中有效恢复不仅是一个有价值的目标，而且是一项当务之急。加勒比复原力和恢复知识网络将支持加勒比地区采取变革性方法实现灾后恢复，特别是在应对2017年飓风季节给该地区造成1300亿美元损失的影响时。一个由科学家、实践者和决策者组成的社区正在形成，但是目前他们的反应是临时的，受到不同的研究或短期援助目标的驱动。这在当地产生了有益的成果，减轻了灾害的最严重症状，但它们在鼓励对未来事件的长期复原力、加强生态系统或减少贫困或偏远社区的长期脆弱性方面总体上效果较差。加勒比知识网试图通过创造一种对危险事件作出反应和做好准备的新文化来解决这一问题。这是我们的主要目标。为此，我们将联合不同的研究人员，从一开始就与实践者和决策者接触。这些团体都有动力走到一起，改变我们处理灾后恢复的方式。来自加勒比海和英国的研究人员研究了与长期灾害恢复能力相关的广泛主题，他们希望改善灾害后的恢复。从业者有责任确保面临风险的社区获得最好的结果，并面临与该地区气候变化和环境退化相关的越来越多的挑战。捐助者和政策制定者的注意力一直集中在2017年飓风造成的系统性破坏上。因此，网络是及时和必要的。我们安排了一系列互利的活动，以帮助我们实现我们的总体目标和相关目标。其中第一个将是法医研讨会，我们将从多个角度来理解在三个关键事件（2017年飓风、海地地震和伊万飓风后的长期恢复）之后，是什么推动和阻碍了恢复。为了反映不同的观点，我们称之为法医分析，这将是一个很好的工具，可以从彼此的专业知识和观点中学习。该活动将在同一地点举行，并在加勒比灾害管理年度会议之前举行，该会议将为我们的结论提供进一步的即时反馈。之后，我们将创建一些场景来帮助测试、设计和评估针对多种类型危害的现有响应和恢复计划。为此，我们将访问几个加勒比国家，这些国家将与不同的社会群体共同设计，以确保相关性。这些将用于在每种情况下创建新的原则和策略。在此期间，我们将举办一系列网络研讨会，讨论这两项活动所突出的挑战。我们将使整个加勒比地区和更远地区的参与者免费获得这些资料。所有这些工作的成果将创建我们的新社区，他们将共同创建一个研究宣言，以改变恢复并利用它来获得进一步的资金。然而，重要的是，在此过程中，我们也将创造一些切实的利益，这将确保该集团的寿命并最大化其利益。这些是：(1)对几个重要灾害事件进行法医分析，确定优先行动和原则；(2)为当地灾害从业者提供灵活的、量身定制的情景演习，使他们能够制定自己的新战略，以应对四个岛屿上的这些问题。(3)考虑如何在岛屿上“联合”战略的时间和动力，关键是与区域和国际机构合作。
