Coastal Services Center

Partners

The Organization of American States Office for Sustainable Development and Environment (OAS/USDE) and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Coastal Services Center (Center) initiated the endeavor to jointly host the Vulnerability Assessment Techniques Workshops to create a networking opportunity and dialogue for exploring new ideas and potential partnerships in the application of vulnerability assessments. In 2002, the Caribbean Development Bank collaborated with OAS/USDE and NOAA to help promote awareness, access, and application of vulnerability assessments for use in development planning in the wider Caribbean area.
