Executive Summary:
The recent UN report urgently calling for immediately disaster risk reduction measures is based on incorrect analysis and even simple computational errors.
A tool for analyzing nonlinear “kinks” in time-series data is developed and presented and used to identify “current trends” in disaster frequency that are very different from the long-term trends claimed by the United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction.
Introduction:
Recently the United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction issued a 256-page report subtitled, “Transforming Governance for a Resilient Future.” The report calls for immediate “rewiring” of multinational governance structures to prepare for a forecasted nearly “tripling of extreme weather events” between 2001 and 2030, and a rapid increase in general disasters globally, “from around 400 in 2015 to 560 per year by 2030.” The report lays out urgent measures to take to deal with these increasing disasters, calling for massive investment and international cooperation, along with rewriting rules by which we live.
