TY - JOUR PY - 2023// TI - Daily briefing: What we can learn from disasters that were averted JO - Nature A1 - Krämer, Katrina SP - ePub EP - ePub VL - ePub IS - ePub N2 - Tornadoes, earthquakes, wildfires and other dangerous environmental events don't have to lead to death and destruction, writes a group of disaster specialists. One of the lessons they drew from looking at examples of disasters avoided is an understanding that disasters often result when people are forced to live and work in harm's way. Short-term actions such as evacuation and sheltering can mitigate the immediate consequences, and realistic and achievable targets are important in long-term planning.
