The Hyogo Framework sets out specific priorities for action on early warning for all hazards and on associated risk assessment and preparedness.

Moreover, deforested areas can be recovered and restored for bio fuel cultivation this limits the use of firewood, which is associated with health hazards.

Environmental health hazards

A growing number of countries are faced with multipronged crises where disasters associated with natural hazards and complex emergencies reinforce and feed into one another.

(ii) Work on environmental hazards

E. Vulnerability to global hazards

The risks and potential for disasters associated with natural hazards are largely shaped by prevailing levels of vulnerability and measures taken to prevent, mitigate and prepare for disasters.

12. Stresses the need to address risk reduction of and vulnerabilities to all natural hazards including geological and hydrometeorological hazards

Provide information on other hazards which do not result in classification but may contribute to the overall hazards of the material, for example, formation of air contaminants during hardening or processing, dust explosion hazards, suffocation, freezing or environmental effects such as hazards to soil dwelling organisms.

Takes note of the report of the Secretary General on the implementation of the International Strategy for Disaster Reduction, in particular section II, entitled Disasters associated with natural hazards and vulnerability development challenge

Risk reduction, therefore, entails reducing vulnerability to hazards.

E. Regional cooperative measures to combat global hazards

Natural hazards cannot be prevented, but damage caused by hazards can be prevented and avoided by proper preparedness, response and mitigation efforts.

The scope of this Framework for Action encompasses disasters caused by hazards of national origin and related environmental and technological hazards and risks.

Noting the need for international cooperation to increase the capacity of countries to respond to the negative impacts of all natural hazards, including extreme weather events and associated natural disasters, particularly in developing countries,

Expressing deep concern at the increasing negative impact of severe natural hazards, including earthquakes, extreme weather events and associated natural disasters, which continues to hinder social and economic progress, in particular in developing countries,
