In disaster risk reduction circles, there is an almost desperate reliance on 'community' and a strong growth in studies and plans to "involve the community" in facing up to risks and impacts (Berkes and Ross 2013). The intentions are laudable, as DRR needs to be democratised if it is to function.

Risk assessments are at the heart of every ISMS and include five critical components: Putting in place a risk management framework. Analyzing risks. Evaluating risks.

Myth 10: After disaster people will not make rational decisions and will therefore inevitably tend to do the wrong thing unless authority guides them. Myth 58: For every dollar [pound, euro, shekel] spent on disaster risk reduction, between four and 11 dollars are saved in damage and losses avoided.
