Cuba’s
climatic conditions make the country susceptible to natural
disasters such as tropical cyclones, floods, intense rains,
and strong winds. Dangers are compounded by the fact that Cubans
often construct homes and undertake economic activities in high-risk
areas. However, awareness of the situation has increased in
recent years, both among the general population and the local
and national authorities. The Cuban Government has implemented
strategies for prevention, mitigation, response and reconstruction,
significantly helping to reduce risk. As a result, loss of life,
agriculture, and livestock has considerably decreased. Regardless
of these advances, vulnerable conditions prevail. This is evident
not only in the high level of land deterioration but also in
the extensive damage caused by hurricanes.

For example, Hurricane Michelle in 2001 caused heavy losses, affecting
45 percent of Cuban land and 53 percent of the population. In
2002, Hurricane Lili and Hurricane Isodore affected 14 provinces
and caused severe damage. These disasters aggravated the already
fragile situation in Cuba, especially in Havana, with direct implication
on the social welfare of the people. According to official numbers,
75,380 homes were affected and 14,905 were completely destroyed.
The Cuban Government, with the assistance of UNDP, has made reconstruction
and livelihood improvement in affected areas a top priority. A
series of initiatives in the livelihood sector incorporate risk
management into reconstruction projects, planning, and human development.
