Fifty projects are proposed for consideration on the following pages. The following descriptions of the projects do not represent detailed technical proposals, and several of the proposed projects call for further technical input. These recommended activities must be further developed, in keeping with the criteria for the application of small grants established by the Caribbean Disaster Mitigation Project, and any other agency from whom funding for implementation is sought.

Many of these have been suggested by the residents of affected areas, and others have emerged as a result of the hazards and vulnerability assessment. It is recommended that the following be considered in resource allocation:

Number of Households in Jeremie
At present there are no reliable statistics on the population living in Jeremie. The census undertaken in 1982 suggests that there were slightly more than 28,000 people living in Jeremie. Staff at the HHF have suggested that today the population of Jeremie could well be in the region of 45,000 people.
Preliminary analysis of our own survey suggests that the average household size is 6.28. Even though both of these statistics (total population and household size) are uncertain it is still possible to infer some usable statistics in the following manner:
