Guatemala is located in the heart of Central America, bordered on the north by Mexico,
on the east by Belize, and on the south by both Honduras and El Salvador. Guatemala is also
bordered by two large bodies of water: the North Pacific Ocean and the Gulf of Honduras (i.e.
the Caribbean Sea). The size of the country is rather small (about a hundredth of the size of the
United States), but this is in no way representative of its diversity; Guatemala contains jungle,
beach, mountains, plains, and forest (CIA, 2010). Although beautiful in scenery, the rugged
terrain in some areas renders it difficult to build or maintain infrastructure. Outside of wellpopulated
areas many roads are in extremely bad conditions and can be shut down for day after a natural disaster. This creates a huge obstacle in transporting people to medical facilities
or medical equipment and personnel to areas of need.
