Disaster Management

DISASTER MANAGEMENT

Natural Disasters would keep happening, we cannot avoid them, so lets prepare ourselves.
Disaster Management aims to reduce human suffering and economic losses caused by natural and technological disasters. We do this by helping the World Bank provide a more strategic and rapid response to disasters, and promoting the integration of disaster prevention and mitigation efforts into the range of development activities. Poorly planned development can turn a recurring natural phenomenon into a human & economic disaster. Allowing dense populations on a floodplain or permitting poor or un-enforced building codes in earthquake zones is as likely as a natural event to cause casualties and losses. Similarly, allowing the degradation of natural resources increases the risk of disaster. An important part of this mission is providing assistance to prepare for and recover from natural or man-made disasters that can result in great human and economic losses.
