PNG National Disaster Centre

PNG ranked 10th most disaster prone country

The acting director of the PNG National Disaster Centre, while opening the workshop on Comprehensive Hazards and Risk Management, challenged the participants to do their part to reduce that ranking by the United Nations World Risk Index.

Martin Mose said recent disasters in Papua New Guinea and globally highlight the extensive social and economic, financial, cultural and environmental impact from disasters and the many needs to help the community and small businesses, corporations in avoiding or reducing loss.
