Natural Disasters : What is the Role for Social Safety Nets?
The frequency of dramatic natural shocks around the world is a reminder that governments and the international community need to do more to prevent and mitigate the human misery and economic costs that result from such calamities. Natural disaster risk management is a multi-sectoral endeavor to mitigate disasters. Social risk management moves the focus away from the disaster to explore how the society manages hazards. In this, safety nets can play a part. Safety nets here refer to income support programs targeted to the neediest (either as a result of ongoing poverty or the effect of the disaster itself) as a preventive measure, and in the recovery and rebuilding phase; not to emergency relief which is a vital first response and a different area of expertise. Such programs can operate through different modalities - cash, kind, public workfare; be targeted more or less broadly, and be implemented by a range of actors.

The frequency of dramatic natural shocks
around the world is a reminder that governments and the
international community need to do more to prevent and
mitigate the human misery and economic costs that result
from such calamities. Natural disaster risk management is a
multi-sectoral endeavor to mitigate disasters. Social risk
management moves the focus away from the disaster to explore
how the society manages hazards. In this, safety nets can
play a part. Safety nets here refer to income support
programs targeted to the neediest (either as a result of
ongoing poverty or the effect of the disaster itself) as a
preventive measure, and in the recovery and rebuilding
phase; not to emergency relief which is a vital first
response and a different area of expertise. Such programs
can operate through different modalities - cash, kind,
public workfare; be targeted more or less broadly, and be
implemented by a range of actors. |
