Abstract
CHRISTOPLOS, Ian and MITCHELL, John. Do we need to reframe risk once again?. Jàmbá [online]. 2023, vol.15, n.1, pp.1-3. ISSN 1996-1421. http://dx.doi.org/10.4102/jamba.v15i1.1587.
Twenty years ago we wrote an article entitled 'Re-framing risk: The changing context of disaster mitigation and preparedness'. We sought to summarise the changes that were underway at the time in the discourse on disaster risk. At the time the article was seen as rather provocative as it sought to summarise the way that new perspectives were emerging in how we perceived risk. Ben Wisner nudged us to reflect on what happened to that reframing and whether it may be time to re-frame things once again. This reflection has led to several streams of thought.
Keywords : disaster mitigation; preparedness; discourse; reframing; jargon.
