List of "Priorities 3 Investing in disaster risk reduction for resilience"page2

This kind of prior investment in disaster risk reduction is more cost-effective than investing money after the disaster has occurred, and they must be actively pursued to strengthen a society’s capabilities to respond to disasters.
