Hazards and Sustainability
Section Information
The purpose of the section is to study and manage hazards and reduce the damage they create. Hazards can be natural, anthropogenic, or a combination of the two. Natural hazards can be classified into several broad categories: geological, hydrological, and meteorological hazards. Anthropogenic hazards mainly include fires and acid rain.
Disasters are taking a heavy toll and affecting individuals, communities, and countries worldwide. In response to hazards, we must carry out disaster risk management to reduce disaster risks and enhance resilience.
