📄 Abstract
The study delves into the intricate realm of disaster risk management through an in-depth exploration of the World Risk Index (WRI). The primary objectives of this research are to examine the diverse indicators utilized in the computation of the WRI, dissect the evolving trends encapsulated within the World Risk Report (WRR), and discern the factors catalyzing the rapid escalation of the risk factor index in the specific context of India. The research methodically dissects six pivotal factors contributing to the rapid increase in India's WRI, ranging from the profound impact of the COVID-19 virus to population dynamics, migration patterns, and the intricate interplay of overlapping disaster impacts. The redesign of the WRI model and miscellaneous factors, including challenges related to data availability, further enrich the analysis. As this study navigates the complexities of evaluating disaster risk, it aims to offer valuable insights into the multifaceted dimensions of risk.
