Overview

The Dominican Republic is at high risk from natural disasters. As a Small Island Developing State in the Caribbean, it suffers frequent tropical cyclones and storms. Flooding affects the most people, but drought also impacts people and agriculture, and earthquakes too are a risk. Lack of urban planning exacerbates environmental degradation and increases exposure to disaster losses. Risk finance and insurance solutions can mitigate disaster risk and increase financial protection for vulnerable groups.
