United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR)’s Post

Please watch this video. “Nothing Natural about Disasters “ please stop using the terminology natural disasters. It’s a disaster. Whilst this video is representing some developing countries its information is extremely relevant for all countries. It’s about the decisions that are made by us and for us. We need to focus more on prevention and resilience instead of response. We also need to acknowledge that there are many people at higher risk in disasters and work towards reducing their risks and assisting them in increasing their resilience.

Every situation is different, and so is every community. RIC provides well-thought-out solutions that are tailored to fit your community’s needs. Getting stuck in the tactical, or response mode, is not your fault. There are systemic issues in emergency management that RIC is working to dismantle so you can feel ahead of the curve. No matter the sector (public or private), size, and needs of your government or organization, RIC can help.
