Disaster Risk Reduction and Management in the Pacific
Guild, Robert; Uusimaa, Hanna | August 2013
Abstract
The Pacific is one of the world's most disaster-prone regions. The small size, remoteness, and fragile biodiversity of the Pacific islands make them exceptionally vulnerable to natural hazards, with low capacity to manage the resulting risks. In the future, climate-related disasters are likely to increase in number and scale. Disaster risk reduction and management are hence critical issues that must be addressed to avoid derailing the region's development progress.
