- Title
- Integrating Disaster Risk Management Into Development Plans of Bougainville
- Abstract
- Bougainville is on verge of a major developmental shift as a number of policy, programs and projects on various aspects of development ranging from the opening of the airport in Arawa to the construction of the Office of the Disaster management of Bougainville and from the mining policy to the impact projects are on anvil. These developmental interventions are likely to reshape the disaster risk in the region, as development is not risk neutral. Bougainville is prone to a number of hazards including earthquake, tsunami, king tide, floods, landslides and floods.
