Information and knowledge management: key practices for DRR implementers
Decision-making and prioritizing actions are both particularly important in a disaster risk reduction (DRR) context, as the various actors in this field need to have access to very specific and accurate information before intervening by mitigating, preventing or responding to natural hazards. Accurate information provides DRR implementers with a clear vision of what can and cannot be done and helps them to identify and reduce the various risks associated with actions. Information in its different forms is, therefore, a powerful strategic tool. As a result, it should be handled carefully and the possible impacts of sharing it should always be carefully considered and monitored.
