DRMKC on International Day for DRM

By Knowledge Network – Staff memberPublished on

Today is International Day for Disaster Risk Management. The special DRMKC issue focusing on recent research and activities related to risk information/assessments and early warnings.

Today we celebrate the International Day for Disaster Risk Management. This is an opportunity to acknowledge the progress achieved in raising risk-awareness and reducing human and infrastructure losses in case of natural hazards, but also to strategise how we can build more disaster-resilient societies. To this end, the Disaster Risk Management Knowledge Centre is providing science-based advice for DRM policies, translating complex data into more accessible information. The special FLASH NEWS issue focusing on recent research and activities related to risk information/assessments and early warnings can be found here.
