Description:
The Western Hemisphere faces many types of disasters, including hurricanes and tropical storms, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, drought, pandemics, and landslides. Challenges from disasters are often made worse by a lack of technological capabilities, weak infrastructure, and bureaucratic mismanagement. Improved digital disaster warning and management systems could provide critical support to the region as it prepares for future disasters.
