S4E10 - DRR in Latin America & the Caribbean

Join us this week for a discussion with DRR expert and #NoNaturalDisasters advocate Irasema Alcántara-Ayala, Professor of Natural Hazards and Risk at the National Autonomous University of Mexico. We discuss how risk is created within society and how state responses so often focus on reacting to hazards rather than addressing root causes. What does this mean for Latin America and the Caribbean? How do efforts by organizations like La Red support efforts towards a real understanding of risk?
