Multi-hazard approach

A multi-hazard approach involves planning and managing risks for multiple types of hazards—such as floods, earthquakes, storms, or fires—together, rather than separately. This strategy recognizes that communities can face several threats simultaneously or in succession, so it aims to create comprehensive safety measures, infrastructure, and response plans. By considering various hazards collectively, it helps reduce overall vulnerability, improve resilience, and ensure that resources are efficiently allocated to protectpeople, property, and the environment from diverse and interconnected risks.
