Disaster Management QUESTION #6528
Question 1
What is the fundamental flaw in disaster recovery that only focuses on 'building back'?
  • It takes too long
  • It fails to address underlying vulnerabilities and may recreate pre-disaster risks✔️
  • It costs more than resilient reconstruction
  • It requires international assistance
Correct Answer Explanation
Section 10 emphasizes the 'Build Back Better' principle, which integrates risk reduction into reconstruction. Simply rebuilding to previous standards recreates vulnerabilities, whereas resilient reconstruction addresses root causes, incorporates hazard-resistant designs, and reduces future risks.
