Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR)

Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) refers to strategies and practices aimed at minimizing the impact of disasters on people and communities. It involves understanding the risks of natural hazards—like floods, earthquakes, and storms—and taking proactive measures to prevent, prepare for, and respond to these events. This includes improving infrastructure, promoting community awareness, implementing early warning systems, and developing policies that support resilience. By investing in DRR, societies can better protect lives, reduce economic losses, and enhance recovery efforts, making communities safer and more resilient to future disasters.
