10. Pressure and Release Model

The chapter explores the pressure and release model of disaster risk, detailing root causes such as access to resources and political ideologies that contribute to vulnerabilities. It discusses frameworks like the Hyogo and Sendai frameworks, emphasizing the importance of multi-hazard management and the integration of various strategies to reduce disaster risks, enhance preparedness, and promote resilience in communities. Ultimately, the text highlights the need for an inclusive approach to disaster risk reduction.

Sections

Pressure and Release Model
