Abstract

Extreme events and conditions are significant deviations from the norm that have profound effects on systems and society. They can take various forms, including climate extremes, health extremes and abnormal environmental conditions and so on. While these conditions may have unwanted consequences, they enable the study of the interactive dynamics of the systems involved. Through number of case studies, I argue how access to information on population experience and exposure is essential for developing inclusive and equitable strategies in risk management and the creation of resilient communities.
