Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) principles

Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) involves understanding and managing potential dangers to minimize their impact on communities and the environment. It includes activities like assessing risks (such as floods or earthquakes), planning and building resilient infrastructure, educating people about safety measures, and preparing response strategies. The goal is to prevent or lessen harm before a disaster happens, rather than just reacting afterward. DRR promotes a proactive approach by combining science, policy, and community participation to create safer, more resilient societies capable of withstanding natural hazards.
