NATURAL HAZARDS AND DISASTER RISK REDUCTION
Natural Hazards and Disaster Risk Reduction is the study of natural phenomena and processes that can be detrimental to human communities and the environment. Natural Hazards and Disaster Risk Reduction studies the nature, occurrence, impacts, and mitigation of such natural phenomena that pose threats to life and property. Natural Hazards and Disaster Risk Reduction research includes a variety of topics from earthquakes, landslides, volcanoes, floods, to coastal erosions, and even tsunamis. This area of research looks into hazard monitoring, geospatial risk assessments, disaster preparedness, and contingency planning among others. Combining the insights derived from geosciences with disaster management approaches, this area of research informs and enables effective decisions to create sustainable development amid hazardous locations.
