FONDEN was first created as a budget line in the Federal expenditure budget of 1996, and became operational in 1999. Funds from FONDEN could be used for the rehabilitation and reconstruction of: 1) public infrastructure at the three levels of government (federal, state, and municipal); 2) low-income housing; and 3) certain components of the natural environment. FONDEN consists of two complementary budget accounts, the FONDEN program for reconstruction and FOPREDEN program for prevention, and their respective financial accounts. The FONDEN program for reconstruction is FONDEN's primary budget account. It channels resources from the federal expenditure budget to specific reconstruction programs. The FOPREDEN program for prevention supports disaster prevention by funding activities related to risk assessment, risk reduction, and capacity building on disaster prevention. The FONDEN system is continuously evolving to integrate lessons learned over the course of years of experience.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCESS TO FINANCINGACCOUNTABILITYASSET BASEAVALANCHEBLANKETSBONDSBUDGET SURPLUSCAPACITY BUILDINGCAPITAL EXPENDITURESCAPITAL MARKETSCAPITAL STOCKSCATASTROPHE BONDCATASTROPHE BONDSCATASTROPHIC LOSSESCIVIL SERVICECLIMATE CHANGECONTINGENT LIABILITYDAMAGE ASSESSMENTDAMAGE ASSESSMENTSDAMAGESDEBRIS REMOVALDEBTDECLARATIONDECLARATIONSDEPOSITDEVELOPMENT BANKDISASTER ACTIVITIESDISASTER EMERGENCYDISASTER EVENTDISASTER EVENTSDISASTER MANAGEMENTDISASTER PREVENTIONDISASTER PROGRAMDISASTER RECONSTRUCTIONDISASTER REDUCTIONDISASTER REHABILITATIONDISASTER RELIEFDISASTER RESPONSEDISASTER RISKDISASTER RISK REDUCTIONDISASTER RISKSDISASTER-PRONE COUNTRIESDISBURSEMENTDISBURSEMENTSDOCUMENTSDROUGHTDROUGHTSEARTHQUAKEEARTHQUAKESECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTEMERGENCY ASSISTANCEEMERGENCY RELIEFEMERGENCY RESPONSEEMERGENCY SITUATIONEXPENDITUREEXPENDITURESEXTREME EVENTSEXTREME WEATHERFATALITIESFEDERAL BUDGETFIDUCIARY RESPONSIBILITYFINANCIAL CAPITALFINANCIAL FLOWSFINANCIAL INSTITUTIONSFINANCIAL INSTRUMENTFINANCIAL INSTRUMENTSFINANCIAL MANAGEMENTFINANCIAL RISKFINANCIAL STATEMENTSFINANCIAL SUPPORTFIREFLOODFLOODINGFLOODSFOREST FIREFOREST FIRESGOVERNMENT ASSETSGOVERNMENT FINANCESGOVERNMENT INVESTMENTSHEAVY RAINFALLHOUSINGHUMANITARIAN ASSISTANCEHURRICANEHURRICANESIMPACT OF DISASTERSINDEMNITYINFORMATION SYSTEMINFORMATION TECHNOLOGYINSTRUMENTINSURANCEINTERNATIONAL BANKINTERNATIONAL CAPITALINTERNATIONAL CAPITAL MARKETINVENTORYISSUANCELANDSLIDELANDSLIDESLEGAL AGREEMENTSLINE OF CREDITLOCAL GOVERNMENTLOCAL GOVERNMENTSLOCAL INFRASTRUCTUREMANDATESMATURITYMEDICAL SUPPLIESMEDICINEMUNICIPALITIESNATURAL DISASTERNATURAL DISASTERSNATURAL HAZARDNATURAL HAZARDSNATURAL PHENOMENONNATURAL RESOURCESPENSIONPENSIONSPORTFOLIOPREVENTIVE ACTIONSPUBLIC ASSETSPUBLIC BUDGETPUBLIC EXPENDITURESPUBLIC SERVICESRECONSTRUCTIONREHABILITATION NEEDSREINSURANCERESERVESRESOURCE ALLOCATIONRESOURCE ALLOCATIONSRETURNREVOLVING FUNDRISK ANALYSISRISK ASSESSMENTRISK MANAGEMENTRISK MANAGEMENT SYSTEMRISK PROFILERISK REDUCTIONSEARCH AND RESCUESEARCH AND RESCUE EQUIPMENTSTORMSTORMSSUBSIDIARYTEMPORARY SHELTERTORNADOTRANSFER RISKSTRANSPARENCYTREASURYTREATYTROPICAL CYCLONESTROPICAL STORMTRUST FUNDTRUSTEETSUNAMITSUNAMISVICTIMSVOLCANIC ERUPTIONVOLCANOESReportWorld Bank10.1596/26881
