While some hard fought development gains have been made over the years, more recently Pakistan has been plagued by natural disasters with the National Disaster Management Authority’s (NDMA) 2012 Disaster Risk Management Needs Report citing landslides, earthquakes, hill torrents, monsoons, flooding and cyclones as key hazards.1Military action and associated IDP movements in north-western Pakistan have served to exacerbate the vulnerability of communities to natural disaster in addition to requiring significant levels of humanitarian assistance.
