After conducting an assessment on compound and cascading disaster risks, it is time to design measures to enhance resilience to those risks. In this lesson, you will learn the process that communities can use to design resilience enhancement measures. They are based on the conventional disaster management cycle consisting of three steps: pre-disaster preparedness, response, and post-disaster recovery. Ideally, resilience enhancement measures should address all elements of this disaster management cycle, by incorporating additional measures against compound and cascading risks.
Let’s think about how to design proactive disaster risk reduction and adaptive recovery processes to increase resilience in the era of climate crisis.
