Raising Risk Awareness

The document describes a process for improving disaster response and recovery by integrating climate science and social analysis. It emphasizes that determining the influence of climate change on extreme events, combined with an analysis of exposure and vulnerability, allows policy makers and community members to make informed decisions to 'build back better' and ensure systems are resilient to future climate risks.

• Effective preparation for future climate risks requires a combination of climate science to determine if climate change is increasing the frequency and intensity of extreme events and social science to examine the underlying exposure and vulnerability within social, economic, and political contexts.
