DISASTER RISK CAN HIT SUDDENLY — OR BE PART OF EVERYDAY LIFE.
Not all disasters make headlines, but all disasters matter.
Intensive Risks are high-impact, low-frequency events such as major earthquakes, strong typhoons, and large-scale flooding that can cause sudden and catastrophic losses.
Extensive Risks are lower-impact but recurring events such as local floods, storms, fires, and droughts. While often overlooked, their cumulative effects can severely disrupt livelihoods, public services, health, and local economies.
Small and frequent disasters account for a significant share of economic losses and displacement, quietly reinforcing poverty and inequality in vulnerable communities.
Building resilience means preparing not only for major disasters but also for the risks that return every season.
Together, let us strengthen preparedness, reduce vulnerabilities, and create safer, more resilient communities.
