Tsunami in the Dutch Caribbean

In Caribisch Nederland kunnen tsunami’s voorkomen. Het is duidelijk, een tsunami veroorzaakt grote problemen, waaronder slachtoffers, communicatieproblemen, drinkwaterproblemen en (grote) schade aan gebouwen. Ook kunnen de vitale infrastructuur en economie verstoord worden.

De Caribische eilanden zijn vatbaar voor tsunami’s. De eilanden liggen in een actief aardbevingsgebied. Ook liggen de eilanden in de buurt van een subductie zone, wat een zeebeving en daarmee een tsunami kan veroorzaken.

Let us guide you in becoming even more prepared for an (unhoped-for) tsunami.

Cuijpers Consultancy offers a large range of activities:

Education
Training
Exercise

Our training and exercises provide insight into learning points for employees and your crisis organisation.

We use scenario thinking in our education, training and exercises.
Your crisis employees will work through scenarios, together with our teaching staff. For example:

What are the possible consequences of a tsunami?
What tasks do the emergency support functions (ESF) have during a tsunami?
What is going on in the short- and long-term after a tsunami (aftermath)?

Our activities are customized! In this way, your crisis employees practice in the most realistic way!

Did you know that Cuijpers Consultancy has an interactive and secure media simulator that stimulates reality even more?

Our sister company Integrato ensures:

The content of the media simulator, among others:
- Website of your organisation
- Websites of traditional (local) media
- Social media
- An operator to lead the training or exercise
(Crisis)advice and (interim) activities
Our employees can (temporarily) strengthen your crisis teams, for example as a policy advisor. This can be done both on location and remotely (digitally). We can also support you
in drawing up plans, such as an ABC-map or ABC-plan for hurricanes.
Evaluations
Hit by an (unhoped-for) tsunami? Then our professionals can support you with an evaluation. We have extensive experience in evaluating crisis teams and incidents, also in
the Dutch Caribbean. Cuijpers Consultancy is committed to avoiding value judgments, and we work with feedforward: Learning from an incident so that future disaster response becomes even better.
