A World Meteorological Organization project update published on 28 August 2026 reported progress between May and August 2026 under CREWS Caribbean 2.0, which aims to make early warnings across the Caribbean more connected and people-centred. The reported work covered impact-based forecasting, warning communication, regional data exchange and coordination between meteorological services and disaster management authorities.

Activities described included a national workshop in the Turks and Caicos Islands from 5–7 May, and a regional workshop on impact-based forecasting and the Common Alerting Protocol in Trinidad and Tobago from 26–29 May with representatives from 17 Caribbean countries. In June, a WIS 2.0 training workshop brought together specialists from 16 Caribbean meteorological services and led to the establishment of a regional engineering team. A severe-weather forecasting testbed workshop was held in Barbados from 15–17 June with representatives of 14 meteorological services and forecasting entities.

Project partners met in Barbados on 1–2 July to review implementation progress, and a visit to Barbados Meteorological Services on 3 July highlighted locally developed technologies. As of the source date, a four-country series of national workshops on the Common Alerting Protocol and impact-based forecasting was taking place in St Vincent and the Grenadines, St Kitts and Nevis, Antigua and Barbuda and Jamaica.
