Their commitment and dedication to developing the foundation for a more resilient Dominican Republic has saved lives and reduced disaster losses. Although this is an ongoing process, the commitment of the men and women of these organizations illustrates the desire to build a disaster-resilient nation.

The goal of this project was to assess disaster risk at the subnational level and place it in the context of disaster risk- reduction (DRR) efforts currently underway in the Dominican Republic. The NDPBA provides a baseline for evidence-based DRR decision making, while simultaneously supporting the enhancement of data holdings to establish future trends in the drivers of disaster risk. The NDPBA project provides a repeatable and measurable approach to examining key elements of DRR. The NDPBA approach consists of distinct yet complimentary activities, including: • Focused stakeholder engagements; • A detailed subnational risk and vulnerability assessment (RVA) that included the following elements: multi- hazard exposure, vulnerability, coping capacity, lack of resilience, and multi- hazard risk; • A review of national and subnational comprehensive disaster management (CDM) capabilities to identify challenges and provide recommendations for strengthening preparedness and response; • A proposed five-year plan, including recommendations to build capacity and capability; and • Data integration and information sharing. The data and final analysis provided in this report are integrated into the Pacific Disaster Center’s (PDC) decision-support system known as DisasterAWARE™, allowing for open and free access to critical DRR data and information. Access to the system may be requested through [email protected]. 9 NDPBA Dominican Republic Final Report: Executive Summary Findings Risk and Vulnerability Asssement The population of the Dominican Republic experiences very high levels of exposure to seismic activity and tropical cyclone winds. Volcanic hazards also pose a significant threat, while smaller proportions of the population are also exposed to landslides, inland floods, and tsunami hazard zones. See Error! Reference source not found. for total population exposure to hazards in the Dominican Republic. Table 1.

A rank of 1 corresponds to a high score (e.g., high multi-hazard risk), while a rank of 32 indicates a low score (e.g., low multi-hazard risk). 10 NDPBA Dominican Republic Final Report: Executive Summary Table 2.

  • Topography and Geology Esperanza III, Which
    The Study on the Integrated Rural Development of Former Sugarcane Plantation Area and Final Report the Pilot Project of La Luisa Area, Monte Plata Province 5.4 Model Area of Group C : Esperanza III Area 5.4.1 Natural Conditions (1) Topography and Geology Esperanza III, which belongs to Valverde Province in the northwest of the Dominican Republic, is located at the 12km northeast of Mao where is the seat of the provincial office and at the 33km northwest of Santiago where is the second largest city in the country. The area is at longitude 71°12’ W and latitude 18°27’ N. The farmland of the area is situated between the Yaque del Norte River and Northern Mountains and declines gently from north to south within 80m to 100m in altitude. The area mainly consists of fluvial deposits such as muck, limy sand, clay and gravel in the Quaternary by the Yaque del Norte River and its tributaries. (2) Meteorology Esperanza III is located in Cibao that is a granary of the Dominican Republic, and is 12-km far from Mao where meteorological data are collected. In Mao where is in the middle of Cibao Valley, annual rainfall records about 700-mm but Esperanza III is supposed to have more rainfall, more than 1000 mm, since the area is at the foot of Septentrional Mountains. A vegetation map shows that Esperanza III is a part of subtropical dry forest as the same as Tamayo. The meteorological data in Mao indicate that there are two rainy seasons (from May to June and from September to October) but more than six months have less than 5 rainy days.

Euscorpius is an expedient and viable medium for the publication of serious papers in scorpiology, including (but not limited to): systematics, evolution, ecology, biogeography, and general biology of scorpions. Review papers, descriptions of new taxa, faunistic surveys, lists of museum collections, and book reviews are welcome. Derivatio Nominis The name Euscorpius Thorell, 1876 refers to the most common genus of scorpions in the Mediterranean region and southern Europe (family Euscorpiidae).

My mother left behind her cosmetology business, a house, and financial independence with the goal of establishing a new future in the United States. Everything that would grant her the status as an empowered woman in the perspective of liberal feminists. However, the empowerment she thought she would achieve in the United States ended up being subjectively insufficient and something that could not fulfill her “true” ambition. The moment we set foot in Jersey City, New Jersey, we began our journey as migrant Dominican women in the United States.
