DISASTER RISK REDUCTION
AND MANAGEMENTPRINCIPLES AND TRENDS
7/31/2019 Risk Reduction and Management
26/29
Principles Disaster management is the responsibility of all
spheres of government.
Disaster management should use resources that
exist for a day-to-day purpose.
Organizations should function as an extension of
their core business.
Individuals are responsible for their own safety.
Disaster management planning should focus on
large-scale events.
7/31/2019 Risk Reduction and Management
27/29
Disaster management planning should recognize
the difference between incidents and disasters. Disaster management operational arrangements
are additional to and do not replace incident
management operational arrangements. Disaster management planning must take account
of the type of physical environment and the
structure of the population. Disaster management arrangements must recognize
the involvement and potential role of non-
government agencies.
7/31/2019 Risk Reduction and Management

Trends The Overall Number of People Affected by Disasters
Is Rising
The Number of People Killed in Disasters Worldwide
is falling
Overall, Disasters Are Becoming More Costly
Poor Countries Are Disproportionately Affected by
Disaster Consequences
The Number of Disasters Is Increasing Each Year
