Journalists Told No Such Thing As A Natural Disaster Undrr “disasters are not natural,” kevin blanchard, of the ‘no #nonaturaldisasters’ international campaign, told a undrr organized online workshop for several dozen journalists from the americas and caribbean ahead of the region’s most important meeting next week on disaster risk reduction. There is no such thing as a natural disaster! a hurricane, earthquake, or flood is a natural hazard—but it only becomes a disaster when people are unprotected, exposed, and vulnerable due to the lack of preparedness, inequalities or other vulnerabilities. No such thing as a natural disaster! nature creates hazards. disasters happen when those hazards hit vulnerable people and systems. as disaster risks grow more complex and interconnected, stronger disaster related statistics are essential for informed policy, financing, and risk modelling. There's no such thing as a natural disaster. these events, whilst initiated by naturally occurring hazards, only become disasters when they impact society or a community. this is only possible through the decisions we have made & the vulnerability of our populations.
Natural Disaster Management Undrr No such thing as a natural disaster! nature creates hazards. disasters happen when those hazards hit vulnerable people and systems. as disaster risks grow more complex and interconnected, stronger disaster related statistics are essential for informed policy, financing, and risk modelling. There's no such thing as a natural disaster. these events, whilst initiated by naturally occurring hazards, only become disasters when they impact society or a community. this is only possible through the decisions we have made & the vulnerability of our populations. Nature creates hazards. disasters happen when those hazards hit vulnerable people and systems. where and how we build, who is protected, and who is left exposed all shape the outcome. Calling disasters "natural" implies they're inevitable and beyond our control. but they're not. human actions turn hazards into disasters, by increasing vulnerability and exposure. 🛑 there’s no such thing as a natural disaster — hazards become disasters when risks are ignored or poorly understood. understanding disaster risk means. There is no such thing as a 'natural' disaster, only natural hazards. disaster risk reduction (drr) aims to reduce the damage caused by natural hazards like earthquakes, floods, droughts and cyclones, through an ethic of prevention.
