Appendix: Rationale of this Study; Books Consulted; Website References ; With increased
climate variability, aggravated natural hazards in the form of extreme events are
affecting the lives and livelihoods of many people. This work serves as a basis for
formulating a 'preparedness plan' to ensure the effective policy formulation for planned
development. Increased demand and competition with a high degree of variability have
forced people to struggle in order to prosper. Good governance and innovative policy
formulation are necessary to create a resilient society. This may promote a paradigm
shift in the mindset on and perceptions of natural hazards and their impact
