Preventing natural hazards

Description

Preventing natural hazards involves implementing proactive measures to reduce the risk and impact of events such as floods, earthquakes, landslides, and storms. Essential actions include hazard mapping, enforcing land-use regulations, strengthening infrastructure, early warning systems, and community education. These strategies aim to minimize vulnerability, protect lives and property, and ensure rapid response and recovery, thereby addressing the root causes and consequences of natural disasters through practical, coordinated risk management and preparedness efforts.
