The Chain of Effect

The document outlines the chain of effects that can result from a disaster. It shows how a disaster can initially lead to loss of lives, infrastructure, livelihoods and livestock. This is followed by secondary hazards, health issues and disabilities. Resources are diverted to emergency needs and recovery, reducing funds available for development. A lack of preparedness and resilience can be exacerbated by pre-existing issues like poverty, poor health, lack of savings and skilled labor. This perpetuates a cycle where disasters further limit development progress.
