5. FACT: THE NEED FOR GLOBAL DIASTER RISK REDUCTION IN 2015 IS GREATER THAN EVER

6. FACT: EXPOSURE OF PEOPLE AND ASSETS IN ALL COUNTRIES HAS INCREASED FASTER THAN VULNERABILITY HAS DECREASED, THUS GENERATING NEW RISK

7. FACT: IMPACTS OF DISASTERS OVER THE PAST TEN YEARS Over 700 thousand people lost their lives, over 1.4 million were injured, and approximately 23 million were made homeless

8. FACT: IMPACTS OF DISASTERS OVER THE PAST TEN YEARS Overall, more than 1.5 billion people were affected by disasters in various ways, and with women, children and people in vulnerable situations being disproportionately affected.

14. FACT: GLOBAL UNDERSTANDING OF THE DISASTER RISK IS DECREASING IGNORANCE FAILURE TO LEARN APATHY GAPS IN EDUCATION LACK OF REALISTIC TRAINING

15. FACT: GLOBAL DISASTER RISK IS INCREASING FLOODS SEVERE WINDSTORMS EARTHQUAKES DROUGHTS VOLCANIC ERUPTIONS ETC.

16. FOUR PRIORTIES 2) Strengthen Disaster Risk Governance to Manage Disaster Risk

17. THE GOAL: DISASTER RISK MANAGEMENT INNOVATIVE ACTIONS: CREATE, ADJUST, AND REALIGN PROGRAMS, PARTNERS AND PEOPLE UNTIL YOU HAVE CREATED THE EFFECTIVE DISASTER RISK MANAGEMENT

18. YOUR COMMUNITY DATA BASES AND INFORMATION HAZARDS: GROUND SHAKING GROUND FAILURE SURFACE FAULTING TECTONIC DEFORMATION TSUNAMI RUN UP AFTERSHOCKS FLOODS SEVERE WIND STORMS EARTHQUAKES …ETC A DISASTER CAUSES FAILURES IN POLICIES FAILURES IN PRACTICES GLOBAL PRIORITIES ADOPTION IMPLEMENTATION DISASTER RISK MANAGEMENT

19. FOUR PRIORTIES 3) Invest in Disaster Risk Reduction for Resilience

20. RESILIENCE ENHANCEMENT Anticipatory Preparedness Timely Adoption and Implementation of Modern Engineering Building Codes & Standards Timely Early Warning and Evacuation Timely Emergency Response (including Emergency Medical Services) Timely Vulnerability Reduction

21. FOUR PRIORTIES 4) Invest in Disaster Preparedness to Enhance Response and “Build Back Better” in Recovery, Rehabilitation, and Reconstruction

23. FACT: EVERY COMMUNITY CAN INVEST IN DISASTER PREPAREDNESS GOVERNMENT CENTERS DWELLINGS SCHOOLS HEALTH CARE FACILITIES BUSINESSES INFRA-STRUCTURE PEOPLE

24. EVERY COMMUNITY WILL HAVE WEAK LINKS TO FIX AFTER A DISASTER
