Disaster risk management (DRM) refers to the systematic process of identifying, assessing, and reducing the risks associated with natural or human-made disasters. It involves a range of activities aimed at preparing for, responding to, and recovering from disasters to minimize their impact on people, property, and the environment. DRM encompasses various strategies, including risk assessment, mitigation measures, emergency preparedness and response planning, early warning systems, capacity building, and community engagement. The goal of disaster risk management is to enhance resilience and reduce vulnerabilities, thereby safeguarding lives, livelihoods, and assets in the face of disasters.
