| description |
This paper makes the case for why safety
nets are an important tool for managing the risk of natural
hazards. The use of safety nets is advocated both ex ante,
to prevent and mitigate the impact of natural disaster and
ex post, to cope with the impacts of natural shocks.
Firstly, the paper explores the implications of contextual
factors to be taken into account in the design of an
effective safety net system to respond to the needs
generated by natural disasters. Learning from the responses
to a number of recent natural disasters, a typology of the
different types of natural hazards which require different
approaches to reduce their risk is introduced. Secondly, the
paper considers some 'guidelines' for improving
the design and implementation of safety nets either to
prevent and/or to recover from natural disasters. Finally,
some conclusions and recommendations for more effective
safety net and suggestions for addressing key issues are outlined. |
