🛑 There’s no such thing as a natural disaster — hazards become disasters when risks are ignored or poorly understood.

Understanding disaster risk means looking at all its dimensions:
⚡ Hazards – dangerous events or processes, either natural or human-made
🏙️ Exposure – people, assets, systems that are in harm’s way
🧩 Vulnerability – conditions that make people and places more susceptible to damage

💡 Disaster risk is what happens when these three factors interact. Managing risk means reducing vulnerability and exposure, while anticipating hazards.

📚 Dive deeper into how these dimensions connect — and why this knowledge is the foundation for disaster resilience 👉 https://ow.ly/ZARE50XNA4M
