International Strategy for Disaster Reduction (ISDR)

The International Strategy for Disaster Reduction (ISDR) is a global effort to help countries and communities better understand, prepare for, and respond to natural hazards like earthquakes, floods, and storms. Its goal is to reduce the impact of disasters by promoting awareness, risk assessment, and resilient recovery strategies. By encouraging collaboration and sharing knowledge across nations, ISDR aims to save lives, protect property, and support sustainable development, ensuring societies are more resilient and better equipped to handle emergencies and reduce the long-term effects of disasters.
