United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction

The United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR) is a specialized agency that helps countries prepare for, respond to, and recover from natural disasters, such as earthquakes, floods, and hurricanes. Its main goal is to reduce the risks associated with these disasters through guiding policies, raising awareness, and promoting best practices. UNDRR works with governments, communities, and organizations globally to build resilience, ensure effective planning, and improve readiness. By fostering a culture of prevention, the office aims to minimize the impact of disasters on people and communities, ultimately saving lives and protecting livelihoods.
