This article investigates how Latin American governments really come together to help during natural disasters. For the first time ever San Andres and Providencia in Columbia really saw the full on effects of a category five hurricane. The eye of hurricane Iota came in direct contact with this territory completely destroyed the infrastructure of these islands and left many people injured, and a handful of deaths. The government said their goal was to have everything rebuilt within 100 days- but how? Through a recovery plan, money already set aside for these types of disasters, and hard working citizens. This article continues on ad reflects on other Latin American countries that have successfully recovered from natural disasters. Chile in 201o recovered from an Earthquake with the delivery of 40,000 emergency homes, electrical kits, and other resources. Ecuador recovered through fast government funding and donations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Natural disasters are, I would say, pretty overlooked- especially in America. With the rise in wild fires, and the already preexisting natural disasters like hurricanes and earthquakes, it is important to have a solid plan for these. As these disaster’s can result in thousands of deaths and millions of dollars of destruction within the community. With fast acting plans, and support from all around the globe- you can have these situations somewhat fixed in shorter periods of times. With the growing destruction of Hurricanes in southern United States, it is more important than ever to have a fast acting plan, donations, shelter, and food centers for citizens- everywhere. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This relates to International relations, because this is something that happens, or could happen, everywhere. It is important for countries to be empathetic with each other, and be willing to help when disasters like this take place. With solid plans, and money already set aside within IGO’s, the financial devastation could be limited. When things like this happen, it effects organizations like the Red Cross- which receive donations nationally. As sad as it is, events like these bring people and organizations from all over the world together. If one place is able to develop a productive, fast acting plan that would benefit their citizens in a time of crisis- they could help places all over the world. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
