Risk Mapping, Assessment and Planning (Risk MAP)

Risk Mapping, Assessment, and Planning (Risk MAP) is a process used to identify and evaluate hazards like floods or earthquakes in a community. It involves creating detailed maps that show where risks are highest, analyzing the potential impact on people and property, and developing strategies to reduce or manage those risks. The goal is to help communities prepare for and respond effectively to disasters, ultimately reducing damage and saving lives. Risk MAP combines science, data, and planning to guide decision-making and improve resilience against natural hazards.
