Description

This working paper records an exercise carried out by Oxfam GB to map out the range of natural hazards and other risks to which people in Mexico and Central America are exposed. It also relates these to complex social, economic, political and cultural factors that make some social sectors more critically vulnerable than others in emergencies. Furthermore, it identifies the wide range of local capacities (organizational, social, governmental and non-governmental) that can contribute to developing effective approaches to disaster prevention and mitigation programmes, as well as emergency rehabilitation and reconstruction programmes.
