Cuba is intensifying its focus on disaster risk reduction and climate resilience to mitigate the impacts of natural and man-made disasters. Officials have emphasized a culture of prevention and preparedness, aligning national initiatives like ‘Tarea Vida’ with the Sendai Framework to strengthen community organization and early warning systems.

Recent efforts have expanded to address specific sanitary risks in regions such as Cienfuegos. The National Civil Defense Staff has conducted inspections to evaluate challenges including water supply stability and the spread of arboviruses like dengue. Addressing these risks requires intersectoral cooperation to manage issues such as solid waste collection, standing water, and mosquito control in high-risk municipalities.
