Resumo: Disasters represent a severe disruption of a society’s functioning at any scale due to hazardous events interacting with conditions of exposure, vulnerability, and capacity, leading to human, material, economic, and environmental losses (UNDDR, 2025). The traditional focus on disaster response has been questioned in several calls for greater attention to disaster mitigation and preparedness (SCHREVE and KELMAN, 2014). The United Nations and several stakeholders claim that, for every dollar invested in disaster mitigation and preparedness, society could have saved several dollars in the disaster aftermath (HEALY, MALHOTRA, 2009). Besides these economic perspectives, it is also fundamental to consider that it is difficult to measure human suffering (SHAO et al., 2020) and environmental impact (MATA-LIMA, 2013), which adds another perspective on the potential for reducing disaster impacts.
