A cyclical process used to manage and mitigate disaster impacts.

Reducing disaster impacts by identifying and addressing hazards proactively.

Using engineering to reduce disaster impact, like building codes.

Measures not using engineering solutions like hazard mapping.

Developing plans, drills, and systems for disaster response.

Groups involved in responding to and recovering from disasters.

The effect of a disaster on a community or organization.

Visualizing areas prone to specific hazards.

The idea that anything that can go wrong, will go wrong. It highlights the importance of anticipating potential failures and planning for unexpected events.

In disaster management, this means proactively identifying potential problems and designing systems that can handle unexpected events. It involves worst-case scenario planning and ensuring contingency plans exist.

Disaster management strategies often include redundant systems and resilient infrastructure to minimize disruptions. If one system fails, another can take over.

Disaster management focuses on learning from past mistakes and continuously improving plans and responses. This involves reviewing what went wrong and why after a disaster.

Disaster management plans should cover all possible scenarios, even those that seem unlikely. This involves detailed risk assessments and scenario planning.

Disaster management plans must be flexible and adaptable to handle unexpected changes in situations and information.

The act of reducing the impact of disasters through proactive steps like hazard identification, risk assessment, and implementing preventive measures.

The organized effort to prepare for, respond to, and recover from disasters, aiming to minimize their impact on people, property, and the environment.

The reasons why managing disasters is essential, including saving lives, reducing economic losses, enhancing community resilience, promoting health and safety, improving coordination, and building back better.

A key goal of disaster management is to minimize loss of life by ensuring timely and efficient rescue and response operations.

Disaster management helps communities minimize damage to infrastructure and avoid economic hardship by preparing for potential events.

Disaster management promotes community preparedness and recovery strategies, making communities stronger and more resistant to future disasters.

Post-disaster recovery efforts focus on rebuilding infrastructure and systems in ways that reduce future risks and vulnerabilities.

The systematic process of identifying, assessing, and reducing the risks of disasters. It involves strategies to prevent, mitigate, and prepare for disasters.

An international agreement that guides disaster risk reduction efforts by emphasizing understanding disaster risk, strengthening governance, investing in resilience, and enhancing preparedness.
