Disaster Risk Management and Sustainable Development (Online Training)
Details
“Disasters triggered by natural hazards can strike at a moment’s notice, with devastating consequences on people, infrastructure, assets, and entire economies, and the coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) fits into this category. Beyond its huge health impacts, there are significant economic losses to households, firms, and governments as well as large-scale disruptions to lives and livelihoods as a result of lockdowns, disruption of supply chains, and a steep drop-off in commercial activity”. World Bank
In risk management, authorities are most interested in forecasting the threat or hazard – in the case of Covid-19, on predicting how the virus will behave. But the effectiveness of disaster risk management rests mainly on understanding human behaviour and people’s risk preferences, and recognising that there are trade-offs between individual needs and the collective needs of wider society.
