Hazard (Natural) 4
Hazard (Natural) 4 :
First, the misunderstanding of natural hazards as events unrelated to or separate from human activity and human choice is no longer credible. The fundamental involvement of human organizations, cultural and institutional context, and political-economic structures cannot be overlooked or wished away. The creation, distribution, and mitigation of vulnerability to hazards of all kinds is a social interaction with either other social processes or geophysical processes or both. There is no purely natural hazard in the full sense of a risk or danger for which affected persons have no defence or remedy. (Weiner 2001, (1).
