Sinopsis

Natural disasters and other emergencies are not situations that can be completely avoided, but like insurance, it is good to have access to the requisite support in times of need. As we approach the 2024 North Atlantic hurricane season, we thought it opportune to reshare a conversation we had with Sylvester Cadette, of the International Telecommunication Union, in 2021 on the Tampere Convention in which we discussed, among other things:     *  the Tampere Convention, what it is and why more Caribbean countries ought to accede to it;   *  the challenges that are likely to occur when countries have not signed on to the Convention;   *  reasons why countries are not signing on the Convention; plus   *  the need for Caribbean countries to have more comprehensive emergency telecommunications plans in place.   The episode, show notes and links to some of the things mentioned during the episode can be found on the ICT Pulse Podcast Page (www.ict-pulse.com/category/podcast/)    Enjoyed the episode?  Do rate the show
