3. Introduction to disasters & development


Figure

Discuss the historical tendency to separate disasters and development. Ask the participants to comment why this orientation was prevalent and what, if any, problems have resulted.

· The cause and effect relationship between disasters and development has been ignored
· Disasters were seen in the context of emergency response
· Development programs were not assessed in the context of disasters
· Communities under disaster stress were seen as too turbulent for development initiatives
