Central America is particularly prone to tropical storms and hurricanes. The prevailing conditions of poverty and socioeconomic inequality in most countries of the region make their exposed population especially vulnerable to those adverse natural events.
... See More + This paper quantifies the causal effects of hurricane windstorms on economic growth using night lights in the Central America region at the highest spatial resolution data available (1 square kilometer). The paper uses a unique data set of monthly night lights data to capture the temporal disaggregation of hurricanes. Hurricanes in Central America are often localized events and tend to make landfall during the final months of the year that are better captured through monthly -– rather than yearly -– frequency data. The results suggest that major hurricanes show negative effects up to 12 months after the hurricane strikes (between -2.6 to -3.9 percent in income growth at the local level). After that, the analysis finds positive effects during the second year and the first half of the third year as evidence of post-disaster recovery (from 2.5 to 3.6 percent in income growth). The paper contributes to the literature on natural disasters by providing robust estimates of the causal effects of major hurricane windstorms on Central America, which are negative (in the short term) and positive (two years after hurricanes hit).

The Somalia Emergency Drought and Resilience Project (SEDRP) includes support to FAO for strengthening rural food security and livelihoods resilience.
... See More + The project will be implemented by extending multi-sector support to FAO for scaling up and strengthening their ongoing programmatic interventions for famine prevention, drought response and resilience building. Some of the negative impacts and mitigation measures include: use trees, grass, grass mats, or mesh to stabilize dunes and prevent their spread; plant vegetative windbreaks to reduce soil erosion from wind; re-vegetate denuded areas to reduce soil erosion from runoff; take other conservation and prevention measures, such as more efficient use of fuel, improved dryland farming, and livestock improvement programs, to reduce crop and herd quantities and improve quality; vegetate areas around fields to prevent nutrient runoff from croplands; vegetate riparian areas to prevent erosion along stream banks, leaving 50-m-wide strips between waterways and croplands; collect agricultural wastewater from intensive livestock operations in holding lagoons; establishment of a funding mechanism based on the lucrative sectors such as meat, poultry; a recycling program based on the needs expressed and funded by a mechanism to study; a support program for the installation of all livestock farming professionals; and an accurate assessment of the need for professionals of all levels for a relevant distribution in areas of livestock farming.

This paper examines the exposure, vulnerability, and ability of households in Colombo, Sri Lanka, to respond to floods, and brings out significant policy implications.
... See More + The study used detailed questionnaire-based surveys to obtain data on households, to understand the vulnerability and impacts of the severe floods of November 2010 and recurrent floods since then. Households that were selected for the surveys were located in and around flooding spots in the city. The study finds that the floods have imposed a significant burden on poor households. Poor and nonpoor households have suffered damages to the structure of their houses, household assets and appliances, and vehicles. With recurrent floods, they continue to bear the cost of damages as well as short-term measures to cope with floods. For poor families, these costs are borne through very limited resources and borrowing from informal sources, compared with the nonpoor who have more savings in financial form and greater access to formal sources of credit. Poor families tend to invest all their earnings in their home, furniture, and utensils, which suffer the most during floods. In addition, households suffer indirect impacts due to non-availability of transport, power, drinking water, food, and essential supplies. They also tend to lose workdays, which leads to loss of income and productivity. Many poor families have considered relocation to flood-free areas, but they lack the financial resources for the move. If the government offers such a scheme, many would be willing to take it up, if factors like job opportunities, clean surroundings, access to medical facilities, transportation, and good social networks are ensured in the new locations.
