Disaster Risk Management Research Guide

The Guide draws heavily on the field experience of FAO in developing and strengthening
the institutional capacities of DRM systems in a number of Asian and Caribbean countries.
Illustrations of participatory rural appraisal exercises used during field assessments of
community-level DRM systems in several countries enrich the text with the experiences of
many rural people who are highly vulnerable to natural hazard risk.

The GFDRR is a global partnership that helps developing countries better understand and reduce their vulnerability to natural hazards and climate change.

The Global Risks Report 2019 is published against a backdrop of worrying geopolitical and geo-economic tensions. If unresolved, these tensions will hinder the world’s ability to deal with a growing range of profound collective challenges, from the mounting evidence of environmental degradation to the increasing disruptions of the Fourth Industrial Revolution.
