LATIN AMERICA: COLOMBIA & GUATEMALA - PREVENTING A DISASTERCOLOMBIAUNSAFE BUILDINGS:OVER 10 MILLION COLOMBIANS LIVE IN HOUSES THAT ARE WEAK AND LIKELY TO COLLAPSE IN EARTHQUAKES OR MAJOR STORMS. THESE HOMES ARE BUILT BY LOW-INCOME FAMILIES IN TIGHTLY-PACKED URBAN NEIGHBORHOODS, WITHOUT ENGINEERING DESIGN OR CONSTRUCTION SUPERVISION BY MUNICIPAL AUTHORITIES. WHEN A MODERATE EARTHQUAKE STRUCK HAITI IN 2010, TENS OF THOUSANDS OF UNSAFE HOUSES IN SIMILAR INFORMAL URBAN NEIGHBORHOODS COLLAPSED, KILLING 230,000 PEOPLE.REDUCING RISK SAVES LIVES:TO PREVENT SUCH A CATASTROPHIC LOSS OF LIFE FROM A NATURAL DISASTER IN COLOMBIA, BUILD CHANGE IS PARTNERING WITH LOCAL AND NATIONAL GOVERNMENT TO PROTECT FAMILIES BY PROVIDING TRAINING IN DESIGNING AND IMPLEMENTING RETROFITS OF UNSAFE HOUSES.PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP:A PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP IS ESSENTIAL FOR RETROFITTING TO OCCUR ON A LARGE SCALE. THE BOGOTA CITY GOVERNMENT HAS SUBSIDIES AVAILABLE TO LOW-INCOME HOMEOWNERS FOR STRUCTURAL RETROFITS. THESE SUBSIDIES CAN BE ACCESSED BY FAMILIES TO COVER THE COSTS OF MATERIALS AND LABOR FOR RETROFITTING. SUBSIDIES CAN BE USED TO PROVIDE AN INCENTIVE FOR FAMILIES TO FOLLOW SAFE BUILDING STANDARDS.

WHEN A SCHOOL DOES COLLAPSE, LOCAL EDUCATION IS THROWN INTO CHAOS. SOMETIMES CLASSES ARE HELD IN AD-HOC COMMUNITY CENTERS, TENTS, OR EVEN IN DAMAGED AND UNSAFE BUILDINGS. STUDENTS OFTEN LACK ACCESS TO CONSISTENT EDUCATION UNTIL THE BUILDING IS REBUILT.BY ENSURING THAT SCHOOL BUILDINGS WITHSTAND NATURAL DISASTERS, CHILDREN WILL SURVIVE AND THEIR EDUCATION WILL REMAIN UNINTERRUPTED.PROTECTING STUDENTS:MORE THAN 200 SCHOOLS WERE DAMAGED IN THE EARTHQUAKE THAT STRUCK GUATEMALA IN 2012 AND NEED TO BE RETROFITTED TO MAKE THEM SAFE TO USE. HUNDREDS OF OTHER SCHOOLS THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY ARE WEAK AND MAY COLLAPSE IN FUTURE EARTHQUAKES. THESE SCHOOLS ALSO NEED TO BE RETROFIT TO PROTECT STUDENTS.THE GUATEMALAN GOVERNMENT IS AWARE OF THE NEED TO RETROFIT SCHOOLS. BUILD CHANGE WILL LAUNCH A SCHOOL RETROFITTING PARTNERSHIP IN GUATEMALA IN 2015.PROMOTING RETROFITTING:IN 2014, BUILD CHANGE PARTNERED WITH PCI'S BARRIO MIO GUATEMALA, A NEIGHBORHOOD IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM TO REDUCE THE VULNERABILITY OF MIXCO TO LANDSLIDES, EROSION, FLOODING, EARTHQUAKES, AND HURRICANES.BUILD CHANGE IMPLEMENTED A SUBSIDY-BASED HOUSING RETROFITTING PROGRAM TO RETROFIT 3 HOMES IN MIXCO AS A DEMONSTRATION OF THE PROCESS AND A LOCAL TRAINING OPPORTUNITY.
