GS/OAS – CARIBBEAN EMERGENCY LEGISLATION PROJECT/Activity:
Comparative Analysis of international legal and institutional frameworks
Project Summary:
Legislation is the framework by which governments achieve their purpose. To
politicians and administrators, legislation is a means to attain their economic, cultural,
political and social policies. Thus a State has to legislate in order to accomplish
political objectives and particular public policies. The enactment of state of
emergency legislation is such an objective that requires legislation.
Law does not operate in a vacuum. A law is intended to guide and regulate the
conduct and affairs of those to whom it is addressed. A sound knowledge of these
conditions is very necessary. It is usual to consider laws from other jurisdictions in
arriving at this knowledge platform. The scope of work for the project recognises this
and requires a comparative analysis of existing legal and institutional frameworks for
emergency response in both civil (applicable to Haiti and the Dominican Republic
and common law countries (OECS and other participating countries). The legislation
must provide a solution to the problem it is required to address. It is therefore
necessary to thoroughly understand the issues in order to turn government policy into
effective legislation. Comparing other laws on the subject that regulate similar
problems that are being considered will broaden the understanding of the draftsman
and enhance the legislative framework for state of emergency and improve
accountability in disaster management.

Project Description:
A. Consultant’s experience
Environmental Advisors Inc. (EAI) is an environmental management firm that has
been providing the highest quality consulting services in the Caribbean for nearly two
decades. The Company is incorporated in Trinidad and Tobago. The firm works with
its Caribbean and international expert associates to provide advice on all aspects of
sustainable development management. Legal, policy and institutional issues are
among the key focus areas of EAI. Other action areas include integrated water
resources and natural resources management, sustainable energy, climate,
engineering, natural resources economics, development planning and capacitybuilding. Judy Daniel is the President of the firm and its senior legal, institutional and
international law expert.
EAI has worked on a broad range of sustainable development issues for a variety of
clients that include Caribbean governments, international, regional and public and
private sector clients such as the World Bank, IADB, ILO, UNEP, UNECLAC,

Methodology
The proposal is structured such that Environmental Advisors Inc. is the tendering
consultant. Project outputs will be delivered by a two man team of associate consultants
comprising Team Leader Dr. Jean Andre Victor and John Wilson. Dr. Victor is an
international and constitutional law expert while Mr. Wilson is well-versed in matters
pertaining to disaster management and post-recovery activities. EAI will provide no-cost
overall project management support.
The conception of a piece of legislation involves 3 significant processes. Firstly the
formulation of the policy that leads to the enactment then the research undertaken and
6
GS/OAS – CARIBBEAN EMERGENCY LEGISLATION PROJECT/Activity:
Comparative Analysis of international legal and institutional frameworks
lastly the drafting of the Bill. Each piece of legislation has a policy and
by legislation, policies are translated into law. Sound policy built on an understanding
of the issues for which solutions are being sought is integral to the formulation of
effective legislation. In response to this, EAI has combined the international law skill of
Dr. Victor with the policy and practical knowledge of John Wilson as a joint team to
deliver the project outputs.
John Wilson oversaw the post hurricane recovery/rehabilitation work in Grenada,
Tobago, Bahamas, Antigua, St Lucia and Dominica following the passage of
Hurricane Ivan. His experiences are significant as regards both policy development
and research aspects of the project. The activities were diversified: Grenada (11
medical clinics,250+ house repairs, 5 biodiversity projects and 6 schools repairs);
Tobago (3 road stabilisations and community emergency capacity building of 45
residents ); Antigua (Safer building techniques) and in St Lucia and Dominica
(community land stabilisation and flooding/landslide mitigation work in two
communities) and in the Bahamas 20 new homes. All works were delivered on time
and within budget despite programmatic issues including a late start, the additional
impacts of hurricanes and shortages of materials.
In partnership with the OECS Secretariat, Mr. Wilson also coordinated the
development of a disaster risk reduction strategy (benchmarking tool; and has in the
past conducted project Management for ICT/Disaster Project (CDERA).
Dr. Victor also has specialised knowledge about the French and Spanish (civil) legal
and institutional frameworks and their operations. The preparation of the Executive
Summary to the Report, the Report and recommendations will be a joint team effort.
The project will be conducted as a desktop study as the resources that are available
will not cover field trips.
