What role does disaster mitigation play in societal resilience?

  1. Mitigation primarily focuses on post-disaster response and recovery efforts, rather than prevention.
  2. By reducing the severity and impact of disasters, mitigation helps societies bounce back faster and with less damage.
  3. Mitigation efforts contribute to sustainable development by protecting infrastructure and livelihoods from future hazards.
  4. The main goal of mitigation is to completely eliminate all natural hazards.

    Which of the following statements accurately describes the philosophy behind different mitigation approaches?

    1. The approach described as 'man-controlling nature' primarily refers to non-structural mitigation measures.
    2. 'Man adapts nature' emphasizes how humans adjust their behavior and systems to coexist with natural hazards, characterizing non-structural approaches.
    3. Structural measures are best exemplified by the 'man adapts nature' philosophy, as they involve adapting existing structures.
    4. Reinforcing buildings and constructing dams are direct examples of the 'man-controlling nature' philosophy.

      Identify the correct statements among the following concerning key components of non-structural mitigation.

      1. Institution building involves strengthening organizations that are part of disaster management.
      2. Incentives are mechanisms that discourage safe practices by increasing costs.
      3. Community participation ensures that residents are engaged in preparedness efforts.
      4. Responding to warning systems is a structural measure involving the construction of physical barriers.
      5. Financial protection against disaster losses, like insurance, is a key non-structural component.

        Which of the following statements regarding non-structural mitigation measures is/are incorrect?

        1. Non-structural measures are easily seen and touched, making their impact immediately visible.
        2. Legislation, insurance, and public awareness campaigns are examples of non-structural mitigation.
        3. This approach is also known as 'Man adapts nature,' emphasizing human adjustment to hazards.
        4. Non-structural measures primarily focus on reinforcing physical buildings and infrastructure.

          Regarding structural mitigation measures, which of the following statements is/are true?

          1. Engineered structures are designed and built by qualified architects and engineers to enhance disaster resistance.
          2. Non-engineered structures are typically built by local communities using traditional knowledge and are generally disaster-resistant.
          3. Bridges and dams are examples of non-engineered structures.
          4. The construction of new facilities designed to withstand seismic activity falls under engineered structures.

            Consider the following statements regarding different types of disaster mitigation measures.

            1. Structural measures are tangible interventions that are easily observed, such as constructing disaster-resistant infrastructure.
            2. Non-structural measures are intangible, focusing on aspects like education and public awareness, and are often less important than structural measures.
            3. The 'man-controlling nature' approach is primarily associated with structural mitigation.
            4. Non-structural measures are easily quantified, unlike structural measures.

              Which of the following statements about disaster mitigation is/are correct?

              1. Mitigation refers to any action taken to reduce the severity or impact of a disaster.
