DRR ASSIGNMENT:

A disaster is a serious disruption, occurring over a relatively short time, of the functioning of a community or a
society involving widespread human, material, economic or environmental loss and impacts, which exceeds the
ability of the affected community or society to cope using its own resources.

Disaster risk reduction (DRR) is a systematic approach to identifying, assessing and reducing
therisks of disaster. It aims to reduce socio-economic vulnerabilities to disaster as well as
dealing with the environmental and other hazards that trigger them.
A hazard is an agent which has the potential to cause harm to a vulnerable target.

Vulnerable susceptible to physical or emotional attack or harm.

Someone who is vulnerable is weak and without protection, with

the result that they are easily hurt physically or emotionally.
Versatile able to adapt or be adapted to many different functions or activities.
1. Preparedness - First, prepare to protect yourself, others and items of great importance in the event
an emergency/disaster occurs.
2. Response - When there is an actual occurrence, administer first aid or get medical attention for
victims if necessary. Attend to other emergency procedures that must take place in order to lessen
the impact.
3. Recovery - After things are under control, begin the clean up or repair any damage and if
necessary, call in professional restoration services.
4. Mitigation - Finally, ask how did this disaster, accident or emergency happen and how can any
problems that occurred in handling the incident be lessened.
A natural disaster is a major adverse event resulting from natural processes of the Earth; examples
include floods, hurricanes, tornadoes, volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, tsunamis, and other geologic
processes. A natural disaster can cause loss of life or property damage, [1] and typically leaves some economic
damage in its wake, the severity of which depends on the affected population's resilience, or ability to recover
and also on the infrastructure available.[2]

Man-made or technological emergencies that may impact rural communities can include things such as agrochemical
spills, power outages or acts of terrorism. The result can include economic damage, loss of confidence in the food
supply and possible loss of life.Because the occurrence of these incidents is typically unpredictable, proper
preparedness and response for these situations is essential.

Entrepreneurship
Emphasis of these salient features may enhance stronger policy support as well as inspire a
risk-averse atmosphere for aspiring and establishedentrepreneurs. Key
words: Entrepreneurship, policy, theory, salient features, resource ownership, non-monetary
gain.
Economic theories of entrepreneurship tend to receive significant criticism for failing to recognize the dynamic,
open nature of market systems, ignoring the unique nature of entrepreneurial activity and downplaying the
diverse contexts in which entrepreneurship occurs.

Resource-based theories focus on the way individuals leverage different types of resources to get
entrepreneurial efforts off the ground.

Psychological theories of entrepreneurship focus on the individual and the mental or emotional elements that
drive entrepreneurial individuals.

The sociological theory centers its explanation for entrepreneurship on the various social contexts that enable
the opportunities entrepreneurs leverage.

The anthropological model approaches the question of entrepreneurship by placing it within the context of
culture and examining how cultural forces, such as social attitudes, shape both the perception of
entrepreneurship and the behaviors of entrepreneurs.

Prolific business management author, professor and corporate consultant, Peter Drucker put forward an
opportunity-based theory. Drucker contends that entrepreneurs excel at seeing and taking advantage of
possibilities created by social, technological and cultural changes.
