Disaster risk management in Latin America

Overview

Latin American nations, specifically Mexico, Chile, and Peru, have implemented various disaster risk management and resilience initiatives. Early efforts focused on regional forums, climate dynamics workshops, and specialized training for emergency psychology, televigilance operators, and local peace promoters to address previous floods, wildfires, and earthquakes.

Subsequent actions have shifted toward practical preparedness through large-scale safety drills and strategic coordination. In Chile, agencies are establishing unified command systems and protocols ahead of the wildfire season, while in Mexico, institutions like the Mexican Social Security Institute have conducted civil protection drills to enhance risk mitigation across medical and administrative units.
