grinding poverty and weak governance—especially at the local government level—to deepen vulnerability that is stressed even further by the effects of climate change. Thus, the use of risk management tools should be intensified and risk reduction criteria made an integral part of land use planning and development policies. However, regardless of whether corrective or prospective risk management measures are implemented, reducing the underlying factors will continue to pose enormous challenges. In certain scenarios, when nothing else can mitigate the risk, the most viable option for reducing the risk to which some communities are exposed is resettlement. Although resettlement is a complex affair, there are examples of successful preventive resettlements that have not only eliminated the risk of disaster but also improved the standard of living and safety of the population involved and reclaimed the areas at-risk areas to their original use. Under current conditions, in which risk scenarios may worsen for millions of people due to development models and land tenure patterns, an awareness of preventive resettlement outcomes may help improve this practice as a risk reduction measure. 16 Preventive Resettlement of Populations at Risk of Disaster: Experiences from Latin America
