23. LINKING POVERTY REDUCTION AND DISASTER RISK MANAGEMENT
Reading4 ENGR301
UNDP one of the reasons for the rise in the number of disasters is the failure to address the vulnerability of society and the hazards faced.

24. Poverty & Disasters
People in poor countries are at a high risk of falling victim to natural disasters
Many developing countries due to their geographical locations and higher vulnerability suffer more severely from the effects of natural disasters than
About half of the least developed countries (LDCs) are under extreme threat
97 percent of all human deaths due to natural disasters occur in developing countries (World Bank report)
24 out of 49 LDCs (2005 main reference report)

25. Disasters triggered by natural events often raise poverty rates in the affected regions and destroy achieved development progress.
Furthermore, poorly-planned development and inappropriate poverty reduction measures can increase vulnerability to external natural shocks
One of the reasons for the rise in the number of disasters is the failure to address the vulnerability of society and the hazards faced (UNDP)
Final report of the Kobe conference (2005) calls for disaster risk management to be incorporated in poverty reduction policy
Second World Conference for Disaster Reduction (WCDR II) in Kobe, Japan in January 2005.

26. Remember
A disaster is often a sequence of apparently harmless, little mistakes Best to avoid little mistakes so that big disasters can be prevented
