Voices of Victims and their Families
Five years after Hurricane Mitch

This study was conducted in February and March 2004, in the context of a cooperation agreement signed between the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) and CEPREDENAC. The study gathered a sample of this population through interviews, valuable observations related to their recovery, reconstruction and current life conditions, beyond the enormous drama experienced and the immediate actions taken after the disaster. The information recorded also included the circumstances in which the disaster occurred, and their viewpoints about capacity building and strengthening in terms of risk prevention and vulnerability reduction in case of future emergency and disaster situations.
