📄 Abstract（原文）
Disasters have been occurring since time immemorial and have significant economic and social impacts, causing direct damages and long-term economic losses requiring large fiscal outlays for reconstruction and recovery in Africa. This paper reviews the state of disaster management in Africa and how African countries can best strengthen their disaster preparedness and response capabilities. The review examines disasters that have occurred over the past five decades (1970-2023), including natural disasters (droughts, floods, cyclones, earthquakes, volcanoes, heatwaves, wildfires), man-made disasters (conflicts, insurgencies), and health emergencies (epidemics, pandemics, drug abuse). The research is based primarily on a qualitative literature review of secondary data sources, including journals, handbooks, working papers, government documents, and conference proceedings. The findings reveal that Africa faces a convergence of environmental, economic, and social vulnerabilities that reduce the capacity of individuals and communities to secure and protect their livelihoods. About 1,700 natural disasters have been reported in Africa over the past five decades, causing economic losses of approximately US$38.5 billion and over 750,000 deaths. The paper concludes that while disasters cannot be prevented, disaster management can be reinforced to reduce mortality and suffering. Strengthening early warning systems, enhancing institutional frameworks, promoting regional cooperation, and addressing underlying vulnerabilities are essential for building resilience and reducing disaster losses in Africa.
