Abstract Excerpt:
Ecological disasters that occur throughout the world can be natural (e.g., earthquakes, tsunamis), anthropogenic (a consequence of human activity e.g., dam breaching, pollution), or sometimes a hybrid (e.g., some landslides). Disaster risk management plans lay out the goals and means to reduce disaster risks, often guided by the Sendai Framework (United Nations Office for Disaster Reduction 2015). Among other things, this Framework identified that national governments have the primary responsibility of reducing disaster risk, but that responsibility should be shared with local governments, the private sector, and other stakeholders.
