The Barranquilla Metropolitan Area is exposed and often vulnerable to various natural and anthropogenic hazards. The paper’s main objective is to identify the level of understanding that local and regional institutions have of such a multi-hazard scenario, as well as the effectiveness of governance arrangements in minimizing impacts. Research employed a questionnaire applied to 115 stakeholders from government and a survey of 391 households from four communities in the study area. Four focus groups were held during the update of the Barranquilla Development Plan 2020–2023. The results allowed the identification of an updated set of hazards and the levels of government response capacity. The overall level of capacity and effectiveness of local government to respond to hazards was classified as regular. Seventy-seven percent of epistemic ‘experts considered that the institutions responsible for risk management did not undertake sufficient analysis for identifying and managing multiple hazards. Finally, the research team developed a new model of risk management.

This article aims to determine the level of social perception of coastal risk (SPCR) of the population in the face of hurricanes in the southeastern region of Cuba. Semi-structured interviews to inhabitants of the coastal municipalities’ object of study were carried out, with the purpose of collecting data for assessing the following aspects: SPCR when facing hurricanes; causes leading to High, Medium or Low SPCR; sources of information; levels of knowledge about coastal legal issues; levels of responsibility concerning risk management actions, and measures suggested to increase SPCR in the case of hurricanes. A group of 568 people were interviewed. Types of structural, non-structural and ecological vulnerabilities after the impact of hurricanes were also identified, as well as the socio-economic, socio-psychological, communicational, organizational, natural and socio-political factors that influenced their perception of risk. The results showed medium and low levels of SPCR in the population studied. The research concludes with the proposal of some coastal protection actions to be considered in the Plan to Face Climate Change in the Republic of Cuba.
