Disaster risk reduction

General information on the area: 

Disaster risk reduction aims to reduce the vulnerability of communities to natural hazards, such as floods, earthquakes, and hurricanes, through strategic planning and sustainable management of ecosystems. It involves risk assessment, early warning systems, and implementing resilience-building measures like constructing flood defenses, reinforcing buildings, or promoting sustainable land use. Additionally, ecosystem-based DRR utilizes natural barriers, such as mangroves and wetlands, to buffer the effects of disasters. These efforts not only protect lives and infrastructure but also promote environmental sustainability by integrating natural processes into disaster prevention strategies.
