developed several diagrams to depict what occurs at different stages of the Disaster Risk
Management (DRM) Cycle for both slow and fast onset hazards. With an example of a
recent disaster/s, explain the three key stages of the TorqAid DRM cycle (either for slow
or fast onset hazards) and discuss what happens at each stage.

Question 3
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were adopted in 2015 by the United Nations "as a
universal call to action to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure that by 2030 all people
enjoy peace and prosperity". Each goal has several targets and indicators. Identify any five SDGs
and discuss how your identified SDGs can contribute to disaster risk reduction in your country
of your choice.

Question 4
Hazards come in different forms and from different sources. Discuss different types of hazards
