EDMG502: Emergency and Disaster Theory


The main purpose of this week's reading and discussion is to conduct a close examination

of Hazard Clustering while describing its defining features, such as how does it 'cluster' and what

are the consequences. Comparatively address issues of the Hazard Clustering and their effect on

the economy and development, as well as concerns about individual preparation and their

welfare and safety, while also exploring potential government solutions. To provide protection

against risk. Are we prepared for the insurance climate in which we will have more risk, and how

are cities intrinsically hazardous?

` In the first section of the textbook, the emphasis is on how the government may usefully

improve the levels of preventive measures of natural and manmade catastrophes. Previous study

has shown that preventative measures are frequently cost-effective. Preventions force individuals

to do numerous things, many of which are heavily controlled by the government. In this kind of

activity, not many people participate and incurs economic losses for those that do. Improving the

public transportation's dependability helps people move away from hazardous places near

industrial or labor sites to safer neighborhoods. Forests in the country are necessary to maintain

roadways, because they protect soil, boulders, and debris from being washed away during

rainstorms.

In the context of risk cluster catastrophes, successful hazard avoidance does not rely only

on laissez-faire, but public markets, for example, since federal regulations and measures are

required. When prioritizing their expenditures, government agencies should spend money on

certain goods. Because of the advances in weather predicting technology, the government must

use that new information in order to assist its citizens. In addition, a single measure cannot

ensure danger cluster avoidance throughout the world. The government should plan and provide

enough money for infrastructure growth and appropriate upkeep, and they should be ready to

, inform the public when an environmental danger looms. The case study in Bangladesh

demonstrates that, even in third-world nations, effective preventive strategies may be beneficial.

In the end, even if you take every precaution, risks will arise. This means that to carry out

rehabilitation and reconstruction, the government must put aside money. The aim of this essay is

to explore how hazard clustering affects our economy, our society, and our environment.

Minimal efforts are required to create an atmosphere that is safe and productive. New

Times reported that between 2016 and 2019, the number of deaths in the mining environment has

increased significantly. The consequences of hazards are sometimes seen to be an unfortunate,

unavoidable fact of life. Under dangerous conditions, catastrophe follows. They are harmful to

the health and wellbeing of humans, and they are bad for the environment in a scenario when

more than anticipated environmental hazard cases are found in a group of individuals who are

both working and living in the same location (Pappadà et al., 2018). Hazard clustering is also

called a confluence of risks. The degree of danger variation in an area correlates to the number of

hazard clusters. Many employees in my work environments are subjected to many environmental

risks such as polluted air, unwanted noises, wasted water owing to chemicals discharged directly

into the water supply, and chemical contamination from leaking industrial wastewater. Because

hazardous material is often found together, people who work or reside in the vicinity of

hazardous facilities are at an increased risk of health issues. Biological risks (viruses, bacteria,

and animals), chemicals, physical, safety, Economic, and Psychological and social hazards have

been aggregated and presented as a hazard cluster (sexual harassment, victimization, and stress).

The danger has been reported at another location and may reoccur (Pappadà et al., 2018).

In the past, it was shown that hazard clustering in the workplace may contribute to daily

health issues such as difficulties with breathing. Many occupational illnesses, such as those
