DISASTER RISK is still----- the set of failures that occur when
1) recurring events (e.g., floods,
earthquakes, ...,) intersect at a point in
space and time, when and where 2) the
people and 3) communities (i.e., a set of
habitats, livelihoods, and social
constructs) are not prepared to respond
or “build back better.”
FACT: THE NEED FOR GLOBAL
DIASTER RISK REDUCTION IN 2015

DECREASED, THUS GENERATING
NEW RISK

DISASTER RISK IS DECREASING

•
IGNORANCE
FAILURE TO LEARN
APATHY
GAPS IN EDUCATION
LACK OF REALISTIC TRAINING
FACT: GLOBAL DISASTER RISK IS
INCREASING

FOUR PRIORTIES
2) Strengthen Disaster Risk
Governance to Manage
Disaster Risk
THE GOAL: DISASTER RISK

FOUR PRIORTIES
3) Invest in Disaster Risk
Reduction for Resilience
RESILIENCE ENHANCEMENT
Anticipatory Preparedness
Timely Adoption and Implementation of Modern
Engineering Building Codes & Standards
Timely Early Warning and Evacuation
Timely Emergency Response (including
Emergency Medical Services)
Timely Vulnerability Reduction
FOUR PRIORTIES
4) Invest in Disaster
Preparedness to Enhance
Response and “Build Back
Better” in Recovery,
Rehabilitation, and
Reconstruction
FACT: EVERY COMMUNITY CAN INVEST IN
DISASTER PREPAREDNESS
