❌ Disasters don't have to devastate.
💡They are not a 'natural' part of life.
Natural hazards such as earthquakes and tsunamis may be impossible to stop, but the loss of life and economic damage they inflict is NOT inevitable.
#NoNaturalDisasters
There are no 'natural disasters'.
Human actions increase risks, and human actions can reduce risks.
Words matter.

But one village was spared.
Community-led initiatives in waste management greatly reduce flammable material that could be ignited by forest fires.
