Climate change shortens return periods of major natural disasters
Original: the return period of major natural events has become shorter and more intense over time due to climate change https://ww
Climate change is making major natural events strike more frequently and with greater intensity, shortening the return periods once used to plan for them. In the Philippines, the Office of Civil Defense warned that this trend poses a serious challenge to earthquake and tsunami preparedness, as communities can no longer assume rare disasters will stay rare. Officials and observers say preparedness planning must adapt to the new reality of more frequent extreme events.
Why now: A Philippine civil defense warning about disaster preparedness under a changing climate has drawn attention.
