Abstract [en]

This chapter suggests that developing disaster risk reduction as embedded in green social work has strong potential to impact on mainstream disaster risk reduction because it strengthens interventions in the very processes that lead to disasters. The broad and encompassing approach to disaster risk ties it to transdisciplinary conversations on environmental concerns, making disaster risk reduction a salient aspect of social work's contribution to sustainable development, ecologically, economically and socially. The identified tasks and contributions to disaster risk reduction and resilience that have been discussed thus far represent a short-term perspective that addresses disasters, when and if, they occur and during their aftermath. The chapter argues that social work's contribution to disaster risk reduction needs to encompass a strong long-term preventive perspective and develop resilience in social-ecological systems besides being engaged in the other phases of disasters. It suggests a curriculum based on green social work that covers all phases of disasters: mitigation, preparation, response and recovery, and reconstruction.
