V. PROPOSED VENUE:

VI. RATIONALE:

Dealing with disasters focused on emergency response—and that it is only by reducing and

managing conditions of hazard, exposure and vulnerability that we can prevent damages and alleviate

the impacts of disasters. However, we cannot reduce the severity of natural hazards, the main

opportunity for reducing risk lies in reducing vulnerability and exposure and having enough

information. The underlying drivers of risk are mainly related to environmental degradation, poor

economic and urban development choices and practices, inequality, and climate change, which create

and intensify conditions of hazard, exposure and vulnerability. Addressing these underlying risk

drivers will reduce disaster risk, lessen the impacts of climate change and, therefore, maintain the

sustainable development.
