Natural Hazards Mitigation

Natural hazards mitigation involves strategies and actions taken to reduce the impacts of natural disasters, such as earthquakes, floods, hurricanes, and wildfires. This can include planning and building safely, creating early warning systems, improving emergency response, and restoring ecosystems. The goal is to minimize damage to communities, protect lives, and reduce economic losses. By preparing and investing in resilient infrastructure and public education, societies can better withstand natural events and recover more quickly when they occur.
