risk are those most distant like those who have awareness of the disaster only
through news.
_____21. It has been observed that natural disasters tend to have more adverse effects in
developing countries than do man caused disasters in developed countries.

_____23. Changes to the environment can influence the frequency and intensity of C. Weak Governance
hazards, as well as our exposure and vulnerability to these hazards. D. Climate Change
_____24. The lack of access to insurance and social protection means that people in E. Poorly planned and Managed Urban
poverty are often forced to use their already limited assets to buffer disaster Development
losses, which drives them into further poverty. F. Poverty and Inequality
_____25. The growing rate of urbanization and the increase in population density can
lead to creation of risk, especially when urbanization is rapid, poorly
