Disaster Risk Reduction Hub
Enhancing preparedness and response to climate-related hazards for safer, more resilient communities.
About Disaster Risk Reduction Hub
The Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) Hub is committed to building resilience against the increasing frequency and intensity of climate-related disasters. We shift the focus from reactive crisis management to proactive risk reduction and preparedness. By leveraging advanced data analytics, community engagement, and early warning systems, we help vulnerable communities and governments anticipate hazards and minimize their impact. Our work spans from policy formulation at the national level to community-based disaster risk management training, ensuring a comprehensive approach to safety and resilience.
