Disaster Management QUESTION #6524
Question 1
What distinguishes Eco-DRR from traditional structural disaster mitigation?
  • Eco-DRR is less expensive
  • Eco-DRR uses ecosystem services to reduce disaster risks while providing co-benefits✔️
  • Eco-DRR only applies to flood management
  • Eco-DRR replaces the need for built infrastructure
Correct Answer Explanation
Section 8.2 defines Eco-DRR as restoring and conserving natural barriers (mangroves, forests, wetlands) that reduce disaster risks while maintaining environmental integrity. This provides multiple co-benefits (biodiversity, carbon sequestration, livelihoods) unlike single-purpose structural solutions.
