6. Conclusions
The world today is far more inter-connected than ever before. International
travel, transnational trade, and cross-border migration have drastically increased as a
consequence of globalization. No country is spared from being influenced directly or
indirectly by disasters. Singapore is no exception. Singapore is vulnerable to both
natural and man-made disasters alongside its remarkable economic growth. In
response, the Singapore government adopts an approach of Whole-of-Government
Integrated Risk Management, a concerted, coordinated effort based on a total
national response.
