As the world continued to face challenges associated with natural disasters, the inhabitants of the global south are worst hit because of their unique vulnerabilities as further compounded by the underlying structural crisis of statehood.

Beyond these formal arrangements, the unique character of the society where victims of natural disasters are absorbed by extended family members should be encouraged and harnessed.
