Unbreakable: Building the Resilience of the Poor in the Face of Natural Disasters

Indexed incrossref

Abstract

This report moves beyond asset and production losses and shifts its attention to how natural disasters affect people’s well-being. Disasters are far greater threats to well-being than traditional estimates suggest. This approach provides a more nuanced view of natural disasters than usual reporting, and a perspective that takes fuller account of poor people’s vulnerabilities.
