Disaster Risk Reduction aims to reduce the adverse effects of disasters by implementing measures that mitigate risks and enhance community resilience.

Reconstruction is not a component of Disaster Risk Reduction, but rather a phase of disaster management that follows the response phase.

Vulnerability assessments help identify areas and populations that are more susceptible to disasters, enabling targeted risk reduction interventions.

Building codes and standards are structural mitigation measures that aim to reduce the physical vulnerability of buildings and infrastructure to disasters.

Community participation is crucial in Disaster Risk Reduction as it enables local communities to actively engage in developing and implementing risk reduction strategies that are tailored to their specific needs and context.

Public awareness campaigns are non-structural mitigation measures that aim to educate and inform communities about disaster risks and promote risk-reduction behaviors.

Preparedness plays a crucial role in Disaster Risk Reduction by enabling communities to anticipate and respond effectively to disasters, thereby minimizing their impact.

Developing evacuation plans is a preparedness measure that helps communities organize and facilitate the safe and efficient evacuation of people from disaster-prone areas.

Disaster risk assessments help identify areas and populations that are more susceptible to disasters, enabling targeted risk reduction interventions.

Prevention is not a key element of disaster risk reduction, as it is not possible to completely prevent all disasters from occurring.

Land use planning plays a crucial role in Disaster Risk Reduction by regulating the use of land and promoting the development of safe and resilient communities.

Providing emergency shelter is a response measure that aims to provide temporary accommodation for people displaced from their homes due to disasters.

Post-disaster assessments help evaluate the effectiveness of disaster risk reduction measures and identify areas where improvements can be made.

Disaster response is not a key principle of Disaster Risk Reduction, as it focuses on managing the immediate aftermath of disasters rather than preventing or reducing risks.

Recovery plays a crucial role in Disaster Risk Reduction by promoting community resilience and implementing measures to reduce future risks, thereby breaking the cycle of disaster vulnerability.
