Reducing Risk of Future Disasters
Today, there are more people at risk from natural hazards than ever before, with those in developing countries particularly at risk.
Whilst achieving the correct response to such disasters is critical, so too is forecasting events and planning to minimise their impact.
The field of Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) plays a critical role in this process, and this report seeks to draw on the excellent work already being done on DRR around the world.
The project has been guided by a group of experts from a range of disciplines, and was informed by the best current research across the physical sciences, health, social sciences and economics. Its findings will help UK and international policy-makers navigate a challenging and uncertain future.
