Hazards, Risks and disaster reduction Challenges in disaster/risk management
Ignorance or improper knowledge Improper planning/preparation Improper cooperation
What are the features of geologic hazards? Part of natural processes on Earth Involve geologic (Earth) materials Usually of high energy Some are slow onset (sea level rise) Some are fast onset (earthquake) Some are predictable (tides, volcanic eruptions) Some are hard to predict (earthquakes, meteor fall) Some are geographic in occurrence (glaciers) Some are common (landslides) Some have primeland preference (floods)
