65 BUSINESS VIEW CARIBBEAN VOLUME 8, ISSUE 6 DO I T CENTER DOMINI CA As Ms. Evadney Esprit, Do It Center General Manager, describes, “Overall, we have come a very long way. I would say almost all of the houses that were damaged have been repaired. The vegetation is back to where it was before. The island really looks good now. If you didn’t know a hurricane devastated us in 2017, just looking at the island you would not know. The road network is back to how it was, and we are recovering nicely from the hurricane.” Do It Center has been right in the middle of the rebuilding efforts, introducing products to help with the government initiative to be climate resilient. Recognizing the effects of climate change, and the increasing occurrence of life-altering weather conditions, Dominica plans to address this problem proactively. Esprit reports, “The government has put the call out for Dominica to be the first climate resilient nation in the world. Adding hurricane-rated windows to our portfolio will help with the construction side.”
