Disaster Risk Management 02
Disaster Risk Management 02 : "Disaster risk management and reduction are about looking beyond hazards alone to considering prevailing conditions of vulnerability. It is the social, cultural, economic, and political setting in a country that makes people vulnerable to unfortunate events. The basis of this understanding is simple: the national character and chosen form of governance can be as much of a determinant in understanding the risks in a given country, as are the various social, economic and environmental determinants". (UN/ISDR, Internationally Agreed Glossary of Basic Terms Related to Disaster Management, 2002, p. 27)
