自然灾害造成的损失和频率不断增加，及其对经济增长和发展的影响，引起了人们对公众对大规模灾害和减少灾害风险措施的认识和教育水平的担忧。尤其是，人们日益认识到减少灾害风险的公众意识和教育是有效的自然灾害风险管理的重要组成部分。灾害风险管理和减灾战略的财务部分，包括风险转移和补偿战略，也被认为对于减少灾难对个人、企业和政府的财务影响以及促进经济和社会更快恢复具有重要意义。因此，系统地提高公众对风险和风险降低措施的认识和教育，包括财务损失分担和风险转移工具，是减少灾难性事件造成的脆弱性和损失的国家和国际战略的一个重要方面。
The growing cost and frequency of natural catastrophes and their implications for economic growth and development have led to a concern over the level of public awareness and education relative to large-scale catastrophes and disaster risk reduction measures. Public awareness and education of disaster risk reduction are, in particular, increasingly acknowledged as important components of effective risk management of natural catastrophes. The financial component of disaster risk management and mitigation strategies, involving risk transfer and compensation strategies, is also recognised as being important for reducing the financial impact of catastrophes on individuals, businesses, and governments, and permitting more rapid economic and social recovery. As such, systematic promotion of public awareness and education of risks and risk reduction measures, including financial loss-sharing and risk transfer tools, is an important aspect of national and international strategies to reduce vulnerability and losses from catastrophic events.
