Hazard mapping gaps risk future flood deaths

Security friction: Critical gaps in disaster risk communication systems after 2021 floods could prevent future deaths

Researchers identified critical gaps in disaster risk communication systems following 2021 floods that could prevent future deaths. This friction in hazard mapping directly impacts food and health security by failing to protect communities from disasters that disrupt access to essentials. Better mapping would reduce preventable mortality where flood risks threaten survival.
