Mitigating the Effects of Hazards
Aims to build safer or less vulnerable communities and improve understanding of the cause and effects of risks to which they are exposed. A hazard assessment process and a rigorous analysis and evaluation of the associated risks, to develop improved mitigation strategies, can achieve this.
Analysis and evaluation of hazards, vulnerabilities and elements at risk requires the use of scientific and technical tools applied in an integrated way and for disaster risk reduction solutions to be able to be applied. Included in this approach is the essential transfer of skills to national practitioners.
Priorities for risk reduction will emerge from the application of appropriate disaster risk management and vulnerability assessment tools and the sustainability of this process will be achieved through the development of networks and systems for technology transfer to member countries.
