Sustainable Development 04
Sustainable Development 04 :
"In its broader sense, sustainability is defined as development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. In the context of emergency management, this meaning remains and it is linked to creating places that are less vulnerable to natural and technological hazards and that are resilient to those events. Sustainable hazard management has five components: environmental quality; quality of life; disaster resilience; economic vitality; and inter- and intragenerational equity. Reducing the risk from hazards, reducing losses from disasters and working toward sustainable communities go hand-in-hand" (Britton 1998)
