The way in which disaster risk management has been approached is now being challenged by these innovative efforts, most of which are currently in a phase of exploration rather than consolidation. As the HFA comes to a close, therefore, disaster risk management finds itself at something of a crossroads. Disasters such as Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines in 2013 are blowing away the veils of hyper-reality to show that even countries with apparently mature and comprehensive disaster risk governance arrangements in place are challenged by continued risk accumulation. The governance approach based on the disaster management cycle and represented by a specialized disaster risk management sector may have reached its limit, while at the same time a new governance paradigm has yet to emerge.
