Cuba - Risk Reduction Management Centres
June 22, 2015
This document aims to systematize the best practices of the Cuban model of Risk Reduction Management Centres. This model establishes the possibility of mitigating disaster impacts through an informed, coordinated, multi-disciplinary and decentralized approach which focuses on identifying hazards and acting preemptively to reduce risks.
This approach has contributed to the excellent track record in Cuba of protecting human life and livelihoods through preparedness and institutional capacity building at a local level.
