Multi Hazards in The Democratic Republic of Congo

Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) is a country in the Central African region that became independent from Belgian colonialism on June 30, 1960. DRC is a country with abundant natural resources and fertile soil. On the other hand, DRC has always been in a state of conflict and a prolonged civil war involving several neighbouring countries, resulting in slow economic growth. DRC also faces other threats such as the Nyiragongo volcanic eruption, Ebola, andthe Covid-19 pandemic. The research method used is descriptive qualitative by collecting data from the literature related to multi-disaster in the DRC and the observations of one of the researchers while on duty in the DRC. The purpose of this study was to analyze the multi-hazards in the country. The results of this study indicate that DRC has multiple natural and non-natural hazards. These hazards are in the form of armed conflict, the eruption of Mount Nyiragongo, the Ebola disease outbreak, and the Covid-19 pandemic. Risks that exist can affect the condition of society, economy, social, and environment. The national security of the country can also be affected. Efforts to reduce the risk of danger also need to be carried out by the government to minimize the impact arising from armed conflict, the eruption of Mount Nyiragongo, the Ebola disease outbreak, and the Covid-19 pandemic.
