Hunger, poverty, health risks and unsafe land use, rapid and unplanned urbanization all increase the risk. In a connected world risk can combine with - or compound – with other factors such as the El Nino cycles to slow or even reverse socioeconomic development, exacerbate social tensions, instability, and economic insecurity as well as increase humanitarian needs. People’s lives get worse.</p> <p class="undefined ">Hazard events are more likely to become disasters when people, assets, or ecosystems are exposed and vulnerable. Unsustainable development, including inequalities, increases exposure and vulnerability, building the risks of compounding or cascading impacts, as well as polycrises. The challenge for all countries, especially those with high levels of disaster risk, is to build resilience.</p> <p class="undefined "></p> <p class="undefined "><strong>Disasters are rarely unique. Often, they are preceded by events, which are smaller but very similar. It is only the magnitude of the disaster which changes. By examining such events in detail, however, we can learn about their underlying drivers and search for effective solutions.

This helps by acting as a shock-absorber, buffering the impact of more intense hazard events or the cumulative impacts of smaller events.  </li> <li class="undefined ">Use forensic analysis to understand how disasters impact across people, territories and prosperity, drawing on this knowledge to guide risk reduction actions, especially in locations where natural infrastructure services are present but strained by more intense and cascading risks. Couple vulnerability reduction with nature-based solutions such as protecting wetlands to absorb flood waters or preserving coastal forests to buffer against storms and reduce erosion.</li> <li class="undefined ">Invest in information quality and standardization, broaden data sets to include social and environmental factors, and apply effective methodologies in sectoral and land use planning. These are all essential components for reducing disaster risk. The quality of information on risk and disasters has improved remarkably in the last three decades, but much remains to be done.</li> <li class="undefined ">Build alliances and partnerships across sectors, for example by training individuals in alliances and civil society, including non-governmental organizations and other organized groups or networks. Civil society brings together professionals from diverse sectors, communities, indigenous groups, women, migrants, people living with disabilities and other vulnerable groups. It can foster proactive and prospective risk management, as well as vital post- disaster activities.</li> <li class="undefined ">Identify prospective risk drivers, by analyzing major disasters. Use insights gained to strengthen early warning systems, focusing more on the likely failures of system key nodes and buffers in order to protect against potential disasters.</li> <li class="undefined ">Utilise continuous, deliberative and accelerated learning cycles, which are central to effective systemic risk reduction. This requires collaboration with local experts and communities, listening to them and working with them. Put systems in place that measure and learn from disasters so that lessons learned can be proactively applied. Change direction as new knowledge and partners emerge.</li> </ul> </div> <div class="wp-block-column " style="flex-basis:38%"> <figure class="wp-block-image size-full "><img src="/sites/default/files/2024-09/How-to-avoid-disaster-2024_09_10.jpg" alt="infographic" class="wp-image-78455" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="4e2a6cc1-a50f-4606-924b-d72d82d98deb" data-image-style="original"/></figure> <div class="wp-block-buttons "> <div class="wp-block-button "><a class="wp-block-button__link wp-element-button" href="https://www.undrr.org/media/100184/download">View full image</a></div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="wp-block-columns has-extra-light-blue-background-color has-background "> <div class="wp-block-column " style="flex-basis:12%"></div> <div class="wp-block-column " style="flex-basis:76%" id="priorities"> <p class="has-text-align-center has-large-font-size ">We can all learn from disasters in our own contexts to reduce immediate and systemic risks.</p> <div class="wp-block-columns "> <div class="wp-block-column "></div> <div class="wp-block-column "> <div class="wp-block-buttons is-horizontal is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-layout-4 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex"> <div class="wp-block-button has-custom-width wp-block-button__width-100 "><a class="wp-block-button__link wp-element-button" href="/media/100220/download">Learn more in the full report (PDF)</a></div> </div> </div> <div class="wp-block-column "></div> </div> </div> <div class="wp-block-column " style="flex-basis:12%"></div> </div> <p class="undefined "></p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading " id="reading">Related and further reading</h2> <div class="wp-block-columns "> <div class="wp-block-column "> <article class="wp-block-undrr-undrr-card "><div class="mg-card mg-card__vc"><div class="mg-card__visual"><img src="/sites/default/files/styles/landscape_16_9/public/2023-07/GAR-Banner-min4.jpg?h=0f4061bd&itok=YDoKoIRC" alt="GAR 2023 forest with world map in ponds" data-mg-media-id="88667" class="mg-card__image" loading="lazy"/></div><div class="mg-card__content"><header class="mg-card__title"><a href="https://www.undrr.org/publication/gar-special-report-2023-mapping-resilience-sustainable-development-goals">GAR Special Report 2023: Mapping resilience for the Sustainable Development Goals</a></header><div class="mg-card__summary">Highlights how resilience can be strengthened to withstand and respond to shocks.</div></div></div></article> </div> <div class="wp-block-column "> <article class="wp-block-undrr-undrr-card "><div class="mg-card mg-card__vc"><div class="mg-card__visual"><img src="/sites/default/files/styles/landscape_16_9/public/2022-04/small%20GAR%202022%20cover.png.jpg?itok=RB1e_HNN" alt="GAR logo" data-mg-media-id="79611" class="mg-card__image" loading="lazy"/></div><div class="mg-card__content"><header class="mg-card__title"><a href="https://www.undrr.org/gar/gar2022-our-world-risk-gar">GAR 2022 Our world at risk</a></header><div class="mg-card__summary">Transforming governance for a resilient future</div></div></div></article> </div> <div class="wp-block-column "> <article class="wp-block-undrr-undrr-card "><div class="mg-card mg-card__vc"><div class="mg-card__visual"><img src="/sites/default/files/styles/landscape_16_9/public/2021-06/STANDARD_IMAGE_-_1.jpg?itok=-SJENDeX" alt="Person carrying a bag of grain" data-mg-media-id="49361" class="mg-card__image" loading="lazy"/></div><div class="mg-card__content"><header class="mg-card__title"><a href="https://www.undrr.org/gar2021-drought">GAR 2021 Special report on drought</a></header><div class="mg-card__summary">Thinking ahead and acting in advance has far lower costs than reacting and responding to the impacts once drought hits.</div></div></div></article> </div> <div class="wp-block-column "> <article class="wp-block-undrr-undrr-card "><div class="mg-card mg-card__vc"><div class="mg-card__visual"><img src="/sites/default/files/styles/landscape_16_9/public/2023-04/Gunea-Rural-Women%27s-Cooperative-UN-Women.jpg?h=65e52522&itok=HtZfYRHY" alt="Risk informed SDGs" data-mg-media-id="86964" class="mg-card__image" loading="lazy"/></div><div class="mg-card__content"><header class="mg-card__title"><a href="https://www.undrr.org/disaster-risk-and-2030-agenda-sustainable-development">Disaster risk and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development</a></header><div class="mg-card__summary">Meeting the challenges of a complex risk environment for sustainable development</div></div></div></article> </div> </div> <style> .gar2023-hero-image { height: 400px;
