Question

it would have been most convenient to reduce hazard in order that disaster risk is reduced. but we know that in most cases the extent of hazard is given and cannot be changed. Justify the statement by giving examples​

Answer 1

Answer:

We need to manage risks, not just disasters.

DRR is a part of sustainable development, so it must involve every part of society, government, non-governmental organizations and the professional and private sector. It therefore requires a people-centred and multi-sector approach, building resilience to multiple, cascading and interacting hazards and creating a culture of prevention and resilience. Consequently DRM includes strategies designed to:

avoid the construction of new risks

address pre-existing risks

share and spread risk to prevent disaster losses being absorbed by other development outcomes and creating additional poverty
