Summary

Climate change is increasing the frequency of both droughts and floods, meaning back-to-back extreme events are also on the rise. These rapidly alternating crises can harm people in complex ways.

In addition, the ability to prepare for one emergency is likely reduced if people are still recovering from the previous emergency.
