Disasters: Understanding, Managing & Mitigating Risks
Disasters—whether natural or human-made—can severely impact communities, causing widespread destruction to property, infrastructure, and livelihoods. Effective disaster management involves four key stages:
Preparedness: Ensuring readiness before a disaster strikes. Response: Implementing timely protective measures during crises. Recovery: Rebuilding and restoring affected areas. Mitigation: Reducing future risks through proactive strategies.
Collaboration among governments, NGOs, and communities, supported by advanced technology and awareness programs, strengthens disaster resilience. Investing in robust disaster management helps save lives, minimize economic losses, and build stronger, more prepared communities for a safer future.
