Abstract

(Disponible en idioma inglés únicamente) En este trabajo se integra información tanto de Economía como de Politología para analizar las repercusiones de los desastres naturales en la región. En la primera sección se pasa revista a los efectos humanos y económicos de los desastres naturales en la región, tanto al nivel del hogar como al nivel agregado, observándose tanto la distribución geográfica del riesgo de desastre como sus implicaciones a largo plazo para el desarrollo. En la segunda sección se revisan los tipos de desastres más frecuentes en la región, así como el riesgo de desastres en el futuro y las fuentes socioeconómicas de la vulnerabilidad a los desastres producto de los patrones de desarrollo y migración. En la tercera sección se tratan las estrategias de manejo del riesgo al nivel del hogar y de la comunidad, con opciones de políticas públicas y propuestas de respuesta a emergencias, y se halla una combinación apropiada de soluciones municipales, nacionales y basadas en el mercado.
