Cuba

Cuba faces a range of natural hazards, largely driven by its location in the Caribbean. Hurricanes and tropical storms are the most significant risks, frequently causing widespread damage through strong winds, storm surges, and flooding. The country is also exposed to droughts, floods, and, to a lesser extent, earthquakes, all of which can impact livelihoods, agriculture, and infrastructure.

Anticipatory action in Cuba is relatively advanced in practice but not formally framed under that label. The country has a highly organized disaster risk management system, with strong early warning, evacuation, and community-based preparedness mechanisms - particularly for hurricanes. These systems enable early, pre-emptive actions that align with anticipatory principles. However, most efforts are embedded in broader civil protection structures rather than dedicated anticipatory action frameworks, and there is limited evidence of formal forecast-based financing or explicit institutionalization of the approach.
