• Cayman Islands Triggering the RRM:

 The Regional Coordination Plan (RCP) is in support of National Disaster Plans and as such the National Disaster Plans must make provisions for triggering the RRM  System based on a three tiered response mechanism

Event overwhelms the capacity of the affected state to respond Level 3 - external assistance required

Level 2 Some external assistance required

Level 1 No external assistance required MULTI-SECTORAL COORDINATION – COVID19
