The Caribbean experiences billions in disaster-related losses. A single major hurricane can erase 50–200% of a country’s GDP. Across the region, disasters have caused over $20 billion in economic losses, with recovery often taking years.
The challenge is not just the storm. It is coordination before, after and during.
Data is fragmented. Response is delayed. Insurance payouts take months. Resources are misallocated across islands. Systems operate in silos.
The Caribbean is one of the most climate-exposed regions in the world—and the most powerful testbed for solving coordination at scale.
If disaster coordination systems can work here, across multiple jurisdictions and constrained environments, they can scale globally.
Build systems that coordinate prediction, response, and recovery in real time:
Prediction tied directly to action — not just models, but triggers.
Water-aware risk systems combining flood, rainfall, and coastal data.
Automated payouts based on live data. No claims process. No delays.
Coordinate supply chains, pre-position relief, and optimize delivery across islands.
Risk scoring tied to capital allocation — where investment should flow.
Model shelter capacity, infrastructure resilience, and evacuation routing.
Satellite and drone-based damage assessment with automated response routing.
Real-time alerts to mobile phones across affected areas. High-impact use case.
Teams may build public warning systems that deliver real-time alerts to mobile phones across affected areas. This could include:
The opportunity is to move from delayed communication to instant, coordinated response at population scale.
Teams will work with publicly available datasets. The challenge is not access—it is integration across systems that were not designed to speak to each other.
Coordinate response.
Model risk.
The bar is not prediction accuracy. It is whether your system changes outcomes:
We are looking for systems that run.
Disasters will continue. Losses will increase.
What changes is how systems respond.
If coordination can be solved here, it can be solved anywhere.
