Disaster Risk Reduction & Disaster Risk Management: Key Concepts

Understanding how societies can reduce the risks associated with hazards through prevention, mitigation, and preparedness.

What is disaster risk reduction?

Disaster risk reduction (DRR) is the concept and practice of reducing disaster risks through systematic efforts to analyze and reduce the causal factors of disasters. Reducing exposure to hazards, lessening vulnerability of people and property, wise management of land and the environment, and improving preparedness for adverse events are all examples of DRR.

Disaster risk management (DRM) is the application of disaster risk reduction policies and strategies to prevent new disaster risk, reduce existing disaster risk, and manage residual risk, contributing to the strengthening of resilience.

Key components of DRR

Risk Identification
Assessing hazards, exposure, and vulnerability across a population.
Risk Reduction
Structural and non-structural measures to reduce potential losses.
Preparedness
Early warning, contingency planning, and response capacity.
