Since 1960, natural disasters in the Latin American and Caribbean region have killed 180,000 people, disrupted the lives of 100 million more, and caused more than $54 billion in property damage. Traditionally, efforts to manage natural hazards in the region have focused on disaster preparedness, relief, rehabilitation, and reconstruction, with only 10% of international funding spent on prevention measures. This report calls for increased expenditures in this area, claiming that prevention constitutes the most cost-effective means of reducing the long-term impact of natural hazards. The bulk of the report presents guidelines for integrating hazard prevention strategies into development planning. General strategies include incorporating natural hazard, vulnerability, and risk assessments into the overall planning process, and integrating prevention measures into project design, including both structural (e.g., building codes and materials specifications, retrofitting of existing structures, and dikes) and nonstructural measures (e.g., land-use zoning, tax incentives, insurance programs, and relocation of residents). Also presented are strategies for specific hazards (hurricanes,

When the program ran, from its start year to the latest document year. A hatched bar means the start is our estimate. Source: award and document years
Axis: award years, end from years in documents. The start year comes from award fiscal year; the end is the latest document year, so the program may have run longer.
