High Vulnerability to Natural Hazards

This is apparent in the devastating impact of hurricanes and tropical storms on the region’s ill-housed populations, on its infrastructure, and on crops grown in areas where the forest has been cleared and the soil is fragile--areas exposed to landslides caused by hurricanes, tropical storms, and seismic or volcanic activity. Natural hazards can have a drastic -- and dramatic -- effect on the watercourses of the region.
