    In this illustration, give ways on how to reduce disaster risk?

    Disaster risk reduction is the concept and practice of reducing disaster risks through
    systematic efforts to analyse and reduce the causal factors of disasters. Before
    choosing for a house location, safety of the people living in it must be prioritized. As
    shown in the illustration, the house is below the cliff. If natural disaster occurs it can
    cause great damage or loss of life. Cliffs are dangerous because of their height and
    steepness and may cause death or accidents. Homeowners should be advise to
    relocate due to a risky place. The government should restrict people from building a
    house or even tents where landslides or accidents may happen.
