For this week’s interview on Trend Lines, WPR’s Elliot Waldman is joined by Therese Turner-Jones to discuss how Caribbean countries can improve their disaster preparedness and climate resilience.

A variety of aid groups are still accepting donations, including the Red Cross and the Salvation Army. The National Association of the Bahamas has also set up a hurricane relief fund.
