Floods, landslides, and tremors that are by-products of natural phenomenons as storms and volcanic activities, cannot be addressed solely by risk assessment systems. One disaster happening could have been caused by a failing condition miles away, a failing condition caused by decades of poor management and economical factors.
As a poverty-stricken island nation battling with the uneven upgrowth of cities, our human and technical resources should be equally aligned on ensuring that we blend well with the environment, we maximize the use of our waterways, and we augment the conditions of the poorest.
Trash removal and recycling is a major factor in flood prevention. Standardized building protocols reduce landslide risks, and low frequency earthquakes could be both a matter of national and international silent warfare. Risk assessment and modeling are secondary solutions.
