Abstract
The main question of the present study is whether the Wts (Wet tegemoetkoming schade bij rampen) in its current form is future-proof, also in case of disasters caused by extreme weather or climate change and considering the insurance possibilities. The second main question of this study is whether there are good reasons to make the current Wts applicable in the Caribbean Netherlands: the islands of Bonaire, St. Eustatius and Saba (the BES). Both questions are answered in the negative, but for the Caribbean Netherlands (the BES) it is recommended to create a special arrangement outside the Wts.
