With preparedness, resilient infrastructure, smarter planning, and early warning systems, the same hazard becomes manageable. The difference is how we act before it strikes. (3/3)

Ich selbst nutze den Begriff #Naturkatastrophe nicht. In der Podcastfolge wird erklärt warum er kritisch zu sehen ist. Auf Englisch ist "Natural Hazards" treffend, auf Deutsch z.B. Naturgefahren/-risiken, was leider ungebräuchlicher ist.

A version of the popular “distracted boyfriend” meme set on a city street. In the foreground, slightly out of focus, a woman in a red sleeveless top walks past the camera. Over her chest is bold white text with a black outline reading: “Shiny AI governance framework.” Behind her, a man in a blue checked shirt is turning his head to look at her with an exaggerated expression of interest. Over his torso is the text: “AI for DRR.” Next to him, a second woman in a light blue sleeveless top looks at him with shock and disapproval. Over her torso is the text: “Inclusive data foundations.” The image suggests that those focused on “AI for DRR” are being distracted by new or high-profile governance frameworks, while neglecting the more fundamental issue of inclusive data foundations.
A bold graphic featuring a large red speech bubble outlined in black against a light grey background. Inside the speech bubble, the words “DISASTERS ARE NOT NATURAL” appear in uppercase letters. “DISASTERS ARE” and “NATURAL” are in black, while the word “NOT” is in white, creating strong contrast and emphasis. Beneath the speech bubble, the hashtag “#NoNaturalDisasters” is written in black, with the word “No” highlighted in red. The overall design is simple, high contrast, and visually striking, emphasising the message that disasters are shaped by human decisions and systems rather than being purely natural events.
We all know disasters are not natural. They are shaped by the systems we build.
The same is true for AI in DRR.
If marginalised communities are missing from the data, they are missing from the decision. The harm that follows is designed in, not inevitable.
