Disaster Risk Reduction 3 (DRR)
Disaster Risk Reduction 3 (DRR) :
"....the broad development and application of policies, strategies and practices to minimize vulnerabilities and disaster risks throughout society.1 DRR is a systematic approach to identifying, assessing and reducing the risks of disaster. It aims to reduce socio-economic vulnerabilities to disaster as well as dealing with the environmental and other hazards that trigger them.... The term 'disaster reduction' is often used to mean much the same thing. 'Disaster risk management' is also sometimes used in this way, although it is normally applied specifically to the practical implementation of DRR initiatives".
