There is often not enough space to accommodate people who live in high-risk zones within the boundaries of one local government unit. Permanent resettlement to another local government unit is very difficult to accomplish given the lack of funds, and limited co-ordination within and between municipalities and cities that would be necessary to provide land and livelihoods for informal settlers. The build back better mentality promoted by risk management initiatives (that aims to restore the infrastructure and livelihoods in the same at-risk areas), often compounds the problem, given the lack of resources and co-operation necessary to adequately protect people and infrastructure with adequate long-term mitigation and prevention measures.
