Adam Fysh of UNISDR explains how the Sendai Framework has expanded the scope of disaster risks we must consider and calls for an understanding of the systematic nature of risk. "These are uncharted waters. Epidemics, industrial accidents, plant blights, and even droughts can't be modelled in the same way as other hazards. Exposure growth is making a farce of traditional return periods and vulnerability is barely understood from a risk data perspective.”
UNISDR is the secretariat of a new initiative known as the Global Risk Assessment Framework (GRAF) that will seek to both grapple with those challenges and come to terms with the uncertainty native to such an understanding. GRAF is open, collaborative, transparent & practical.
