United Way Trinidad and Tobago launched a public flood information campaign in early 2020 to spread awareness and strengthen already existing stakeholder relationships in integrated flood risk management. We believe that empowerment through information is a key step in building our medium to long-term resilience.
This project is aligned with the following Sustainable Development Goals:
- Goal 6- Clean Water and Sanitation
- Goal 11- Sustainable Cities and Communities
- Goal 13- Climate Action
