DescriptionThe Central American countries of Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala and Panama illustrate where extensive risk exists wherever development occurs. All  Panama’s municipal areas report extensive disaster losses even though the country lies south of the Caribbean hurricane belt and earthquakes are infrequent.
