Q.3. What are social issues regarding Hazards?
Answer
Social issues regarding hazards include disproportionate vulnerability of poor and marginalized communities who often live in high-risk areas with inadequate infrastructure, displacement and loss of livelihood following a disaster event, breakdown of social support networks and community cohesion, psychological trauma and long-term mental health impacts among survivors, and inequitable access to relief, compensation, and rehabilitation resources based on social, economic, or caste-based factors.
