🇵🇦Panama
Panama lies south of the main Atlantic hurricane belt but faces flooding and landslides during its long rainy season, earthquakes along nearby plate boundaries, and drought that has restricted Panama Canal traffic. The Darién jungle bordering Colombia has been a major migration corridor with significant humanitarian needs, and Panama City hosts regional UN and Red Cross hubs that coordinate disaster response across the Americas.
