The document summarizes the Global Alliance of Disaster Research Institutes (GADRI). GADRI is a global network of over 100 disaster research institutes that aims to enhance disaster risk reduction through knowledge sharing. It holds symposia, workshops, and other events on topics like flash floods, earthquakes, and geohazards. Notable upcoming events include the Third Global Summit of Research Institutes for Disaster Risk Reduction in 2017. GADRI's goals are to establish collaborative research initiatives, form international working groups, and disseminate findings to influence disaster policy.
Capacity Development for DRR, Beatrice PROGIDA
The document discusses capacity development for disaster risk reduction at the national and local levels. It explores strengths and weaknesses of current DRR capacity development efforts, and presents UNITAR's contribution through a new K4Resilience hub initiative. The initiative aims to strengthen DRR capacity development at national and sub-national levels by transferring knowledge and technology, advocating for positive change, achieving economies of scale in training, and facilitating peer-to-peer learning and mainstreaming of knowledge through strategies at the national and sub-national levels.

Can UK Water Service Providers Manage Risk and Resilience as Part of a Multi-...Global Risk Forum GRFDavos
The document discusses a study examining how well UK water service providers incorporate risk management and resilience as part of a multi-agency approach. The researchers analyzed 38 Community Risk Registers and found inconsistencies in style, structure, and level of detail when assessing risks like water infrastructure failures or drought. They conclude that improved consistency is needed in how water providers engage in and contribute their risk assessments to the community planning process.A Holistic Approach Towards International Disaster Resilient Architecture by ...
