World Bank Disaster Risk Management

The World Bank Disaster Risk Management (DRM) supports countries in preparing for, reducing, and recovering from natural disasters like earthquakes, floods, and storms. It involves helping governments improve planning, build resilient infrastructure, and implement early warning systems. By reducing vulnerabilities, DRM aims to protect communities, save lives, and minimize economic losses. The World Bank provides financial resources, technical expertise, and policy guidance to enable countries to better manage disaster risks and recover more quickly, ensuring sustainable development even amid increasing climate-related challenges.
