The Situational Awareness Overview (SAO) Report is an analysis of trends in humanitarian needs, risks and vulnerabilities in the Eastern Caribbean to inform planning, strengthen collective advocacy and improve emergency response preparedness. The analysis covers the period 2000 present in the 10 countries and territories covered by the UNRCO for Barbados and the OECS.
The SAO aims at providing a solid base for the development of preliminary impact analyses, feed into development of humanitarian funding appeals and response plans e.g. (CERF, Flash Appeals, Emergency Cash Grants) and support the update process of contingency plans.
