LITERATURE REVIEW: DISASTER RISK REDUCTION PROGRAMS TO INCREASE PUBLIC AWARENESS OF NATURAL DISASTERS

Abstract

Background The key components of disaster risk reduction typically include risk assessment, early warning systems, public awareness and education, infrastructure and land-use planning, preparedness and response planning, and sustainable development. The third component is the public awareness and education. Educating communities about potential risks and how to prepare for and respond to disasters is crucial for building resilience and ensuring the effective implementation of DRR measures. The fourth component is infrastructure and land-use planning. Regarding the preparedness and response planning, developing comprehensive disaster preparedness and response plans is helpful in ensuring a swift and coordinated response during emergencies, thereby minimizing the impact on life and property. Lastly, regarding sustainable development, integrating DRR into development planning can help create sustainable and resilient communities that are better equipped to withstand and recover from disasters.
