Learn how a geographic approach and geospatial technology can support the mandates of National Disaster Management Organizations across the disaster risk management (DRM) cycle— from understanding disaster risk and designing risk mitigation strategies, to providing early warning, coordinating response, and learning from past events to build up future resilience. We will hear from your peers in the DRM space involved in strengthening National DRM frameworks, with work ranging from developing geospatial strategies, training, and building communities of practice.
