| description |
The risk of a disaster can cause economic losses
even before a disaster strikes. Investing in
disaster resilience, therefore, can yield a ‘triple
dividend’ by (1) avoiding losses when disasters
strike; (2) unlocking development potential by
stimulating innovation and bolstering economic
activity in a context of reduced disaster-related
background risk for investment; and (3) through
the synergies of the social, environment
and economic co-benefits of disaster risk
management investments even if a disaster does
not happen for many years. |
