In recent years Anguilla has been in the process of designing a comprehensive disaster management plan. The National Preparedness Committee is charged with raising public awareness about natural disasters that can occur, ensuring that health facilities are available to everyone in the event that a natural disaster takes place, assessing damage and casualties and providing food and clothing to victims of the disaster.
Since Anguilla’s economic development is dependent on tourism, and by extension its environment, the government has recognized the need to preserve its natural resources. Anguilla’s National Environmental Management Strategy (NEMS) was developed to educate the public on environmental issues, to update and enforce environmental laws and to work toward environmental sustainability. However, there is growing discontent among some Anguillians who believe that environmental laws are constantly being flouted without any repercussions to the law-breakers. The government recognizes this and worked to empower the NEMS. There is also concern that the expansion of the tourism industry will have ominous effects on the environment.
