A comprehensive summary of the social disorder that arose from the Typhoon. A statement released by Margareta Wahlström warned that a repeat of such a massive scale disaster could be repeated around other coastal areas especially that of Asia. She also warned of the influences of mankind both in terms of climate change and a better risk management system that includes better governance ( eg urban planning, building codes, education etc).
I believe the future in risk management is uncertain given the size of uncertainties that lies within predicting future climate changes. Also, whether governments in coastal areas can effectively tackle poverty which influences the factors that underlies an individual's social vulnerability.
