Summary Note

The Caribbean region is vulnerable to many different natural hazards, including floods and
droughts; tropical storms and hurricanes; landslides; earthquakes; tsunamis and volcanic
events. Since 1974, the Caribbean Development Bank (CDB) has been responding to requests from
its member countries for assistance with post-disaster rehabilitation.
