Imperative to build resilience against droughts

As the extreme weather events are becoming more frequent and their influence is becoming greater, the response must be systematic and preparations must be made in advance.

Unlike floods, droughts tend to evolve more slowly in a less noticeable way. That tends to let emergency and disaster relief departments drop their guard.

Therefore, the preparation for responses to droughts must always bear the worst-case scenario in mind to make sure relevant emergency measures and disaster relief materials are sufficient to meet the needs of the situation.
