DISASTER RISK MITIGATION

Disaster mitigation - measures that eliminate or reduce the


impacts and risks of hazards through proactive measures taken
before an emergency or disaster occurs.

 Principal objectives of mitigation:


• Save lives
• Reduce economic disruption
• Decrease vulnerability/increase capacity
• Decrease chance/level of conflict
• Risk Reduction
SOME EXAMPLES OF DISASTER MITIGATION MEASURES

1. Structural
2. Non- Structural
1. Flood control
1. Policy (Building Code, etc.)
2. Dike construction
2. Reforestation
3. Resilient roads and 3. Mangrove development
bridges
4. Buy-out scheme
4. Relocation works
5. Land use plan
5. Slope protection 6. Conflict Transformation,

Risk Level Hazard Example Policy Recommendation
Flood Landslide (1:6)
High More than 1 First 3 kms No permanent settlement and limited
meter investments
Medium 30 cm- 100 3-5 kms Limited investments and the are for
