Considered one of the Caribbean's most prosperous nations,
primarily
due to tourism and its offshore financial services
sector. This comes despite the extremely hazardous area
of the Caribbean in which the country is situated. Chronic
drought and occasional hurricanes make disaster preparedness
an important facet of ensuring health and prosperity. |
