Building Disaster Resilience in the Dominican Republic

When a natural disaster occurs, airports and seaports play a crucial role in ensuring that essential medical supplies, food, and emergency aid reach affected populations without delay. Through its long-term partnership with Outreach Aid to the Americas (OAA) and its Community and Port Resiliency Program (C-PReP), FedEx supports transportation hubs throughout Latin America and the Caribbean by providing resilience training, operational resources, and emergency coordination strategies.

In the Dominican Republic, OAA recently organized practical disaster simulations and resilience workshops that brought together airport officials, emergency response agencies, humanitarian groups, and community representatives.

The video highlights how FedEx and local partners are collaborating to strengthen preparedness, improve coordination, and help communities respond more effectively when the next major storm or disaster occurs.
