DESCRIPTION:Disasters and economics are intimately related. When they occu
 r disasters can significantly impact economies and financial systems at na
 tional and global scales. However\, investment in mitigation and disaster 
 risk reduction can significantly reduce these costs. More generally\, part
 icular economic systems can exacerbate the effects of hazard events and th
 eir societal impacts. This session will explore the different ways hazards
 \, vulnerability and disasters interact with financial and economic system
 s\, and how such systems can be used to reduce and mitigate disaster risk.
