International Strategy for Disaster Reduction

The International Strategy for Disaster Reduction (ISDR) is a global effort to help countries prepare for and respond to natural and human-made disasters like earthquakes, floods, and storms. Its goal is to reduce the damage these events cause to people, communities, and economies. ISDR promotes better planning, early warning systems, and sharing knowledge across nations to build resilience. By working together, countries can prevent disasters from causing widespread harm and recover more quickly when they do occur, ultimately saving lives and protecting development gains.
