The universe is energy, we are energy What one thing does everything in the universe have in common? Energy. Everything in the universe is made up of atoms, and all atoms contain energy. Our bodies are made from many different elements (carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, iron, calcium, etc.). Energy is what holds these elements and their particles together. But energy does not stand stil it is always moving and changing its form. We see this in our own bodies when we eat and drink taking in food and fluids from the environment for energy keeping us alive.

This note provides a brief explanation of the basic concepts related to disaster risk management. The primary threats and conditions of vulnerability to disasters will be detailed, with a focus on six selected countries: Chile, Colombia, the Dominican Republic, Guatemala, Honduras, and Mexico.

The objective of this chapter is to provide the tools needed to support the governments of Latin American countries in assessing potential operations and opportunities that can be carried out as PPPs, a mechanism which facilitates the development of these countries by promoting the participation of the private sector in the provision and funding for infrastructures, facilities, and educational sector services.

The process of developing a methodology for the management of education infrastructure in the countries of Latin America and the Caribbean began with an analysis and discussion of types of variables, common content, and unified criteria across this group of countries. This produced a definition of school infrastructure as well as implications for managing it in accordance with each country's legislation, plans, and policies.
