There is no place for politics during an emergency. Politics play a role in how the Caribbean is
managing during the tumultuous hurricane season.
The longtime colonial rule isn't the only reason Caribbean societies and ecosystems are now so
defenseless. Many modern governments in the region are doing their part in making life generally
worse for the downgraded communities.
From Jamaica to Belize, there is a widespread of corruption. There are rights violations. There
is also a severe relationship of trust between people and the states. In theory, the government is
assigned to protect its people when there are storms threaten them.
The policies and practices intensify the Caribbean's shared and environmental risks. To survive
and flourish in this dangerous new normal, Caribbean countries would do well if they look at these
issues. They must rethink at the concept of risk and mindfully engage with factors like poverty,
gender, and climate change.
Puerto Rico is not exempt from the above-mentioned politics or any other source of the so-
called protection.
