The section above have provided examples of how voluntary standards help reduce the accumulation of new disaster risk by informing a new “development paradigm”. This paragraph reviews instead how standards allow for the management of disaster risks that are embedded in our immediate environment. This includes sector-specific disaster risks and we provide examples of risks to the built environment and to electrically powered utilities.
