coordination aiming to continue the preparation and implementation of mitigation
actions for different recurrent and latent hazards in the current pandemic
scenario. This webinar will explore risk reduction and resilience building
at the heart of economic recovery (an opportunity to address inequalities

Webinar Disaster Risk Management and Institutional Response to the COVID-19 Crisis | Los Sistemas Nacionales de Gestión del Riesgo de Desastres en el contexto de la crisis del COVID-19 (Spanish-English interpretation available) – Register here
11:00 (Panama) - National
risk and emergency management systems in the Americas and Caribbean are
engaging in different ways and adopting different commitments in the
governance of the current COVID 19 crisis. This approach has been neither
planned nor foreseen and has been uneven in many ways: from countries
where the Systems have played an important role, to countries where they
have had virtually no intervention. The emergency or disaster laws of many
countries have been the foundation for actions taken during and after the
emergency.

Cities of the Americas and the Caribbean facing COVID-19: Resilient Cities | Reflexiones sobre el futuro de las ciudades en las Américas y el Caribe. Sesión 4, Ciudades Resilientes (in Spanish) – Register here
11:00 (Panama) - UNDRR Americas and the Caribbean Webinar:
Cities of the Americas and the Caribbean Facing COVID-19: Resilient Cities | Reflexiones sobre el futuro de las ciudades en las Américas y el Caribe. Sesión 4, Ciudades Resilientes (in Spanish) - The
multidimensional impact of COVID-19 threatens the development progress
achieved under Agenda 2030. The scenario of a major economic contraction
could plunge nearly 28 million people in the region into poverty as a
result of impacts on the economy and creative industries, among others. It
is in this scenario where, from the understanding of systemic risk, it
becomes necessary to rethink the cities of the future we want.
