[ 06 ]$_COUNTRY BRIEF · shortage posture

Dominica, the 'Nature Isle', imports most of its energy and food but is developing geothermal power that could make it largely self-sufficient in electricity. Hurricanes have repeatedly devastated the island. Cereal output is negligible.

[ 07 ]$_VULNERABILITIES · pressure points

▸High energy-import dependence pending geothermal development
▸Repeated catastrophic hurricane damage
▸Negligible cereal output and high food import
▸Tiny domestic market and resource base
