NATURAL DISASTER: ITS IMPLICATION TO HUMAN SECURITY

Abstract

This study is intended to provide an overview of a natural disaster that significantly affects human security, especially in Malaysia. Furthermore, it enhances the understanding of natural disaster determinant factors and improves the knowledge about the risk, vulnerability, and consequences of a natural disaster. Despite the complexity of human security, this conceptual study can provide the platform for the Malaysian Government to assess the implication of natural disasters and protect human security. Therefore, it is crucial in handling human needs. Such approaches require well-coordinated and quick responses from government and non-government agencies. Furthermore, safety measures or precautions should be pre-planned for human security before the disaster hits.
