The ability both to prepare for natural disasters and respond to them is a key measure of state resilience. It is imperative that states not only prepare for natural disasters within their geographic context, but also develop resiliency measures for crises such as drought, famine, and catastrophic weather. Clear frameworks and rules for how states respond to disasters, especially in the immediate aftermath, eases the costs and time for reconstruction and opens opportunities for reforms.
