Disaster risk reduction (DRR) is a systematic approach to identifying, assessing and reducing the risks of disaster.
The UN International Strategy for Disaster Reduction describes it as: the concept and practice of reducing disaster risks through systematic efforts to analyze and manage the causal factors of disasters, including through reduced exposure to hazards, lessened vulnerability of people and property, wise management of land and the environment, and improved preparedness for adverse events.
