International Disaster Response Law (IDRL) in Grenada A Desk Review on Legal Preparedness for International Disaster Response March 2018 www.ifrc.org Saving lives, changing minds. The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies’ work is guided by Strategy 2020 which puts forward three strategic aims: 1. Save lives, protect livelihoods, and strengthen recovery from disaster and crises. 2. Enable healthy and safe living. 3. Promote social inclusion and a culture of non-violence and peace. About this report This report was commissioned by the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) and the Grenada Red Cross Society, and prepared by Mrs. Tania Chambers, legal consultant. It analyses Grenada’s current legal and policy frameworks for addressing the regulatory issues related to receiving international humanitarian assistance in case of mid- to large-scale disasters. About the Disaster Law Programme The IFRC’S Disaster Law Programme seeks to reduce human vulnerability by promoting legal preparedness for disasters. It works in three areas: (1) collaborating with National Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies and other partners to offer technical assistance to governments on disaster law issues; (2) building the capacity of National Societies and other stakeholders on disaster law; and (3) dissemination, advocacy and research.
