Africa is the fastest urbanizing continent and faces mounting challenges as the population rapidly concentrates in underresourced cities. The rapid processes of urbanization mean that the disaster risk profiles of countries in Africa are evolving from predominantly rural, with drought and food security as the main challenges—to urban, with challenges from floods, cyclones, and earthquakes.
