World Disasters Report 2010: Focus on urban risk
While more than 10 years old, the World Disasters Report 2010 still offers valuable insights into urban risk and has helped the IFRC to develop our work in urban resilienceover the past decade.

A volcano can throw city airports into chaos. Flood waters can turn well-kept streets into detritus-strewn canals. The drug trade can turn an inner city into a war zone. An epidemic can spread rapidly through a crowded slum.
