Catastrophes and Development, Integrating Natural Catastrophes into Development Planning |
|
Content: | Disaster Risk Management Working Paper Series No. 4Often perceived as 'acts of God', natural catastrophes have frequently been overlooked in policy planning. On an aggregate level, the consequence of this limited planning is a serious challenge to socioeconomic development as scarce funds are diverted from longer-term development objectives to short-term emergency relief and reconstruction needs. This working paper aims to present an original approach to estimating the macroeconomic and poverty impacts of catastrophes for planning purposes. By incorporating disasters as a component of macroeconomic projections, effective planning options at the country and international level can be more fully explored. In a series of three country exercises this study incorporates the probability of loss from natural disasters into a flexible macroeconomic modeling platform. In doing so, it first estimates annual expected losses due to natural catastrophes for each country. |
