Disasters are not sudden one time events but result of slow compounding & historical processes.
Disasters are not just biophysical but also social, economic, political. Measures like these cannot solve the problem.

❌ Disasters don't have to devastate.
💡They are not a 'natural' part of life.
Natural hazards such as earthquakes and tsunamis may be impossible to stop, but the loss of life and economic damage they inflict is NOT inevitable.

There are no 'natural disasters'.
Human actions increase risks, and human actions can reduce risks.
Words matter.

🖐️STOP! The words you use matter!
Disasters are caused by human actions and neglect – there is nothing natural about that.
In 2024, make it your resolution to stop talking about 'natural disasters'.

This month's forest fires in Chile are the 2nd most disastrous in the 21st century.

But one village was spared.

Community-led initiatives in waste management greatly reduce flammable material that could be ignited by forest fires.
