Abstract

Risk from natural disasters is no longer defined as the natural occurrence. This chapter aims to understand the risk of such occurrences by analyzing certain socio-political situations in light of historical data via desk research and secondary analysis. The pressure and release model is adopted as a framework to distinguish the progression of vulnerability and safety. To analyze the data, a review of the literature (i.e., scientific journals, newspapers, and policy papers) is conducted. The analysis examined the historical conditions including physical, social, and political situations in two case research areas: Aceh and Haiti. Comparative research is applied to examine for factors in terms of similarities and differences that may have led to higher disaster risk. Moreover, solutions are presented in dealing with the multiple problems in terms of the progression of safety. The findings revealed that the case research areas suffered worsened impacts due to specific historical situations. Additionally, the progression of safety could be implemented as the solution to decrease the impact of disasters by human-related actions. Hence, the findings could have strong contributions for policy-makers to analyze the triggering factors of disasters as well as decrease the impact of disasters altogether.
