The Cayman Islands are a British Overseas Territory in the western Caribbean, consisting of Grand Cayman, Cayman Brac, and Little Cayman, with a land area of approximately 264 square kilometres. The population is around 88,000, primarily residing on Grand Cayman. The economy is driven by financial services and tourism, making it one of the region’s wealthiest, with a GDP per capita exceeding US$70,000.

Telecommunications infrastructure is advanced, supported by submarine fibre optic cables and satellite links. Mobile services are primarily provided by Flow and Digicel, offering 4G LTE and expanding 5G coverage. Internet access is widespread, though pricing remains higher than in larger markets.

Disaster telecommunications are coordinated by Hazard Management Cayman Islands, which oversees the National Emergency Operations Centre. The Department of Public Safety Communications handles emergency call services and manages the national radio system. Regional coordination is maintained through the Caribbean Disaster Emergency Management Agency (CDEMA), and in large-scale emergencies, support may be requested from the WFP-led Emergency Telecommunications Cluster (ETC).
