This component would support structuraland non-structural flood and landslide risk reduction interventions and climate adaptation measures to improve Saint Lucia''''sresilience against current and future climatic shocks. Additionally, the component would finance the reconstruction of criticalinfrastructure damaged during the December 2013 flooding, using the ''''build back better'''' approach. Activities under this componentwould also account for other potential risks (e.g. seismic) to ensure financed works are generally disaster resilient.

Additionally, relevant national plans, policies andstrategies to support risk reduction and climate resilience efforts would be developed, including, interalia: an integratedwatershed management plan for flood mitigation, a rainwater harvesting pilot program, and a climate change public awareness andeducation strategy. Importantly, technical assistance and capacity building are embedded within sub-activities and include: (i)development of operation and maintenance plans, including a bridge maintenance plan, (ii) risk assessments to support engineeringdesign options and final detailed design solutions, and (iii) integrated hazard and climate analyses to inform project designs.
