Source
Parliament of the United Kingdom
This report examines the response to the Pakistan floods of 2010. It states that the frequency and severity of natural disasters are predicted to increase. Along with increases in population, especially in urban centres, the number of fatalities and the extent of damage to physical infrastructure are likely to increase. It stresses that the international humanitarian system needs to be more prepared for these risks with greater attention paid to disaster preparedness and risk reduction. It concludes that the Department for International Development (DFID) must integrate this more fully into its development programmes wherever it works.
