This review analyzes peer-reviewed studies to examine how risk communication strategies vary across temporal dimensions, hazard groups and intended purpose.

This study develops a probabilistic flood-impact assessment for the Cagayan river basin (northern Luzon, Philippines) by linking Bayesian extreme-value inference with uncertainty propagation along the rainfall–flood–damage chain.

This study highlights that forest owners, and rural communities in the Caribbean are among the groups most vulnerable to hurricanes and other extreme climate events.

This study examines the impact of natural disasters on the continuity of radiotherapy services, a critical component of cancer treatment responsible for managing one of the world's leading causes of death.

Updating post-fire debris-flow hazard thresholds with satellite-tracked vegetation recovery reduces false alarms and improves predictions for years 2 and 3 after a wildfire.

This paper addresses two main questions. First, what proportion of people are exposed to climate hazards in Latin America and the Caribbean, especially among the poor versus the nonpoor?

The report provides deep dives into the DRF programmes in each country, as well as stories from the field, interviews with partners and insights into how WFP promotes the use of pre-arranged financing.

The study examines how visual cues, especially maps and warning symbols, can improve flood early warning messages by helping citizens understand event magnitude, timing, impacts and recommended protective actions.
