Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR)
Pounds of Prevention Articles
Benjamin Franklin is famous for the adage "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." Today, we are faced with great challenges brought about by increasing population and urbanization, a changing climate, and a demonstrated increase in the frequency and severity of natural disasters. To continue to tackle these challenges, what has become clear is this: We need more than an ounce of prevention, we need pounds of prevention!
