Latin American and Caribbean countries encounter disasters each year, ranging from localized tragedies to region-wide catastrophes. These disasters are large, rapid-onset incidents, and they include hurricanes, earthquakes, fires, floods, droughts, volcanic eruptions, and pandemics. Catastrophes pose significant challenges for impacted countries as they attempt to recover from the damage done. Challenges from disasters are often exacerbated by lack of technological capabilities, weak infrastructure, and bureaucratic challenges, among other factors. Within this context, improved digital disaster warning and management systems could provide critical support to the region as it prepares for future disasters.
