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 capacity-building. 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,

PAHO, OAS, OECS, CARICOM, CEHI, CARICAD, GWP/CapNet, NEDECO

(Holland), UNEP, USAID, European Union, the Environmental Management

Authority of Trinidad & Tobago, the Environmental Protection Agency of Guyana,

Chester Engineers of Philadelphia, the USVI Legislature and recently the Republic of

Ghana. The motivation of the firm is to make the best expertise available to the Caribbean. By combining the wide-ranging expertise of its national, regional and international associates we take the full spectrum of an issue into account while equally affording a



4

capacity-building opportunity to regional and local experts. More importantly, our regional and local consultants have a stake in the outcome of the projects providing an added assurance that their advice are of the highest quality. The success of our outputs is guaranteed since our Clients are provided with a no-cost follow-up support up to a period of three months after the delivery of project outputs. EAI team’s project delivery approach and corporate business model enables an expert associate to be always “on the job”. Our approach upholds the desire for advancement, the vision, culture and challenges of the Caribbean region and the duty to act responsibly in the interests of present and future generations to ensure a balanced and realistic project implementation. We at EAI are committed to working with you as our Client to surpass expectations and bring innovative solutions to all your sustainable development issues.

Technical Approach

The Scope of Work section of the Terms of Reference adequately summarises the

various sub-tasks that will be required of the Consultant. The following is our

preliminary assessment, based on the understanding of the project, of the work

required of each of the sub-tasks, as well as an indication of how we would staff the

effort. We have included in Form 1 attached to this proposal, a Work Schedule which

provides an indication of the time frame in which this work will be performed. The

Work Schedule is also presented in a bar chart. In addition, a Financial proposal

which provides a detailed cost breakdown is attached at Form 2 to this proposal.

common-law countries to consider their scope and operability;

provisions and international legal instruments that may be replicated in similar

legislation in the PCs;

Caribbean countries related to state of emergency1.

(b) compare the provisions identified in the Draft Assessment Report at Activity

2(d) and the assessments made at paragraph (a) to identify the gaps, weaknesses

procedures and other administrative

arrangements for state of emergency;

(b) Identify the institutional arrangements for state of emergency

(where legislation exists) or the institutional protocol that

obtains for state of emergency in PCs.

(c) submit Final Draft Report to OAS/DSD.

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



7

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.
