What do we mean by “Disaster Risk Management”?
According to the United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR), Disaster Risk Management (DRM) is the application of policies and strategies to reduce disaster risks, in order to prevent the creation of new risks, lessen existing risks and manage residual risks.
This contributes to building resilience and reducing disaster-related losses. This management cannot fully prevent or eliminate threats; it focuses on developing and implementing preparedness and other plans to reduce the impact of disasters and to “build back better”.
