Havana, Oct 13 (RHC) Cuba’s achievements in disaster risk reduction were highlighted by the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Bruno Rodríguez.
In his official Twitter account, the Foreign Minister pointed out that “in our country, the preparation, planning and organization of the Civil Defense contribute to face dangers and minimize human and economic damage.”
All this, despite having few resources and the economic, commercial and financial blockade imposed by the United States during the last six decades, he pointed out.
The publication coincides with the celebration of the International Day for Disaster Risk Reduction, every October 13.
The date was designated by the General Assembly of the United Nations, in order to raise awareness among governments and public opinion about the need to adopt measures that minimize risks.
According to the United Nations official site, this year the international day deepens governance, which can be “measured in lives saved, reduction in the number of people affected by disasters and reduction in economic losses” .
The page emphasizes that, in the face of the Covid-19 pandemic and the climate emergency, it is necessary to implement a long-term vision, with institutions that plan, are competent and empowered, and act with national and local strategies to reduce the risk of disasters.
Authorized voices and international organizations consider Cuba as a paradigm in disaster reduction models.
According to the website of the Defense of the Republic of Cuba, there are Management Centers for Risk Reduction, which facilitate local governments to monitor, reduce vulnerabilities and promote training actions.
The local media Cubahora recalls that an example of foresight in the Caribbean nation is the implementation of the Life Task, the State plan to confront climate change, which with its strategic actions and initiatives seeks to identify prioritized areas, possible damages and undertake actions short, medium and long term.
