October 13 is a day we remind ourselves the world that disaster risk is man-made.
The goal of the 2022 International Disaster Risk Reduction Day, #OnlyTogether # DRR Days, is to provide an advocacy platform to highlight best practices and examples of international cooperation that positively impact the lives of people living in disaster-prone parts of the world, i.e., reducing the number of people affected by natural and man-made hazards. This year’s focus will be on Goal G: “Substantially increase the availability of and access to multi-hazard early warning systems and disaster risk information and assessments for people by 2030.”
