英文摘要	Since 9 April, the La Soufrière volcano on St. Vincent in the Caribbean has been highly active with multiple explosive eruptions. More than 20,000 people were forced to evacuate, and continued geologic activity threatens island-wide water and food supplies ([ 1 ][1]). Although globalization can facilitate rapid delivery of essential supplies to regions affected by natural disasters like this one, foreign aid brings with it the potential for environmental contaminants such as invasive alien species. Given that human health and welfare are dependent on the condition and stability of local ecosystems ([ 2 ][2]), we urge governments and aiding parties responding to catastrophes to recognize and mitigate potential risks. Invasive alien species are among the greatest threats to global biodiversity and ecosystem health ([ 3 ][3]), often causing multimillion-dollar impacts ([ 4 ][4]), especially on islands ([ 5 ][5]). In countries recovering from disaster, invasive alien species may prove impossible to eradicate ([ 6 ][6]) and can create long-term ecological and financial costs in addition to already serious humanitarian challenges ([ 7 ][7]). Dominica, for example, faces impacts from several vertebrate invasive alien species, including Iguana iguana and Osteopilus septentrionalis , that arrived with post-hurricane aid shipments in 2017 ([ 8 ][8]). Some countries, such as New Zealand, have the resources to implement effective bioscreening measures ([ 9 ][9]). Other countries have insufficient protocols or lack the funding, administrative capacity, or political will to manage them effectively. Regardless of a country's usual procedures, in disaster scenarios where rapidly providing aid supplies to those in need is prioritized, biosecurity-screening capacity in affected regions may be reduced or nonexistent. Ideally, aiding parties would make biosecurity screening an integral part of their process to prevent unintended long-term consequences of aid delivery. However, relief comes from both governmental and nongovernmental sources, from locations near and far, with a range of organizational structures and financial resources. Moreover, the type and location of the disaster can affect the functionality of ports and other entry points, necessitating tailored strategies for each event. To address the need for robust biosecurity during disasters, especially among island nations, scientists and policy-makers should work to establish regional strategies supported by legislation, including who should provide information to aiding parties, shipping logistics, and processes to ensure biosecurity upon arrival. Global financial assistance would help support development, training, and implementation. Given the frequency of natural disasters, implementing biosecurity and invasive alien species surveillance programs, in addition to prioritizing rapid aid to people in need, are critically important to protect both humans and wildlife from the spread and impacts of invasive alien species. 1.
