- W3113112466 abstract "Disaster has always been a result of human interaction with nature, technology and other living entities. Sometimes unpredictable and sudden, sometimes slow and lingering, various types of disasters continually affect the way in which we live our daily lives. Human beings as innovative creatures have sought new ways in which to curb the devastating effects of disasters. However, for year's human conduct regarding disasters has been reactive in nature. Communities, sometimes aware of the risk that they face, would wait in anticipation of a disastrous event and then activate plans and procedures. Human social and economic development has further contributed to creating vulnerability and thus weakening the ability of humans to cope with disasters and their effects. Disasters, including those resulting from and exacerbated by the effects of climate change and overexploitation of natural resources, affect countries around the world. According to a report by the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre, 22 million people were displaced in 2013 by disasters brought on by natural hazard events. Asia is the worst affected region, with 19 million people or 87 percent of the global total displaced during 2013. The report states that although both wealthy and poorer countries are affected, 'developing countries' bear the brunt, accounting for more than 85 percent of the displacement. Disasters impede human development. Gains in development are inextricably linked to the level of exposure to disaster risk within any given community. In the same light, the level of disaster risk prevalent in a community is linked to the developmental choices exerted by that community (UNDP, 2004). The fact that the disasters impact on development (e.g. a school being washed away in flood) and development increases or decreases the risk of disasters (e.g. introducing earthquake- resistant building techniques) is widely accepted. This paper will introduce you to the field of disaster risk reduction. The first part of the paper will focus on defining the basic, but most important, terms in relation to disaster studies. The different types of hazards, vulnerability domains and risks will also be discussed and the last part of the paper deals with disaster risk governance" @default.
