Natural Disaster Risk Assessment

Natural Disaster Risk Assessment is the process of evaluating the potential dangers posed by natural events like earthquakes, floods, hurricanes, and wildfires. It involves identifying the hazards, understanding how likely they are to occur, and assessing the possible damage they could cause to people, property, and the environment. This assessment helps communities prepare and implement strategies to reduce risks, improve emergency responses, and promote resilience, ultimately aiming to protect lives and property from the impact of such disasters. It’s a critical tool for planning and safety in vulnerable areas.
