What happened
The Caribbean Institute for Meteorology and Hydrology held a capacity-building workshop for Caribbean Meteorological Organization member states, which was supported by the European Union. The workshop aimed to strengthen CIMH staff's ability to use satellite-based Earth Observation tools for environmental monitoring and disaster risk reduction. CIMH stated that this increased capacity allows it to expand services to member states without relying on external expertise for every stage of the process.
