Construction of hurricane-resistant poultry pen
The construction of low-cost and hazard‑resistant poultry units is a disaster mitigation measure as it ensures immediate post-disaster food availability and protects income sources. The construction of hurricane-resistant farm structures was recommended during a national workshop in Grenada as one of the most easily reproducible, effective, affordable, and sustainable disaster risk reduction strategies for the Caribbean region. This practice describes the steps needed to build a poultry unit.
