While emergency disaster responses prioritise and tackle the immediate needs of people, effective risk reduction plans sustainably address a community’s medium and long-term resilience and recovery. Such plans involve analysing and mitigating the many damaging effects of disasters that extend far beyond the initial event. For people and regions that rely on animals, this means a ‘big picture’ approach encompassing both human and animal welfare.
