Antigua and Barbuda has taken a significant step toward building a culture of disaster preparedness with the official launch of the Early Warnings for All (EW4ALL) initiative. According to Antigua Observer, a two-day National Inception Workshop began yesterday at the Tradewinds Hotel, marking the formal start of the five-year project.
The initiative signals a deliberate shift in the nation's approach to disaster management — moving away from reactive response and toward proactive preparedness as the 2026 Atlantic Hurricane Season draws closer.
The workshop at the Tradewinds Hotel serves as the opening event for the multi-year programme, bringing together stakeholders to chart the course of the initiative's implementation across Antigua and Barbuda.
