RADIUS' objectives were to provide practical tools for urban seismic risk management, assessing the city's risk and preparing plans to reduce it.

In response to disaster trends and the increased expectations and demands by Governments and other stakeholders to implement the Hyogo Framework for Action, the International Strategy for Disaster Reduction (ISDR) has evolved into a global system of

A report for the ISDR Inter-Agency Task force on Disaster Reduction Working Group 3: Risk, Vulnerability and Disaster Impact Assessment, December 2004

This report reviews the performance and future possibilities for disaster risk indexing drawing on

The main objective of the guide is to provide key principles and basic information to consider when identifying and applying relevant indicators to implement the Hyogo Framework’s priority actions, and assess overall progress.

Natural hazards pose a growing threat to developing countries that lack financial or material resources to mitigate their risks to catastrophes or recover from the effects. International aid is generously made available once a country is hit by a disaster. But when the humanitarian assistance phase is completed, affected countries have difficulty accessing funds for recovery interventions  before longer-term reconstruction and development programs can commence. To bridge this gap, the Global Facility for Disaster Reduction and Recovery (GFDRR) established a global disaster recovery fund - the Standby Recovery Financing Facility (SRFF).

The present booklet covers only a small part of the virtually broad knowledge and expertise now existing globally in the area of disaster management and disaster reduction.

To inform and insure the future of our communities, the UN/ISDR secretariat and its partners have made disaster risk education and safer school facilities the two key themes.

This report of the Working Group on Early Warning Capabilities for Geological Hazards summarizes global experience and reviews the current state of knowledge and practice on the subject.

This handbook was made to provide simple information to home owners, designers and builders, and building monitors to teach principles of good design and good construction in a natural hazard prone area. Thoroughly studied, they will also guide on whether to repair or rebuild damaged houses. The descriptions are followed by a code of minimum standards for construction of houses in Aceh and Nias Islands.
