 Abstract: The islands of the Eastern Caribbean (EC) are prone to hazards related to volcanic and earthquake phenomena as well as those related to weather and climate. While earthquakes and volcanic eruptions occur infrequently, it is known all too well that the loss potential for damage in Small Island Developing States can be tremendous. With more than ten volcanic eruptions and twenty damaging earthquakes (> MMI-VI) since 1690, the region has come to terms with the severity of the threat posed and the need for a sustainable programme of surveillance and study of these phenomena. Since 1953, the Seismic Research Centre (SRC) of the University of the West Indies has been tasked to monitor earthquake and volcanic activities in the resource-constrained Anglophone EC territories. Throughout the decades, the SRC employed various strategies to overcome operational challenges and constraints. The utilization of Satellite and Internet Communication Technologies, and the operation of Virtual Seismic Networks through shared station ownership have been a few techniques featured in recent years. Two recent disasters in the region have provided the opportunity to further strengthen and sustain monitoring operations for the next decade. This submission examines the opportunities and work that has been carried out to improve the monitoring programme and discusses how these improvements better enable the SRC to discharge its obligations.
