Mandate and publisher in four parts.
Evidence on readiness, response and recovery.
The platform exists to strengthen the evidence base for risk reduction, preparedness, emergency systems and recovery across communities and institutions. Its focus is institutional and social capacity: whether arrangements work when tested, and which recovery choices leave places safer.
Scope
Disaster and crisis, with links to climate and hazards.
Who takes part
Disaster scholars, emergency planners, recovery specialists and humanitarian analysts.
What it is designed to publish
Preparedness evidence guides, recovery case studies and capacity models.
Who is responsible.
The Global Centre for Risk and Innovation (GCRI) publishes Disaster Resilience and Recovery and answers for its content, under the review and correction rules set out in trust, rights and status.
- Status: Disaster Resilience and Recovery is an established platform. Activities, records and services are published as each one opens.
- Open for information and enquiries.
- Why a dedicated platform: preparedness and institutional recovery have their own research community and methods, distinct from physical hazard modelling at Climate and Hazards.
What the platform does not do.
- It does not regulate, license, certify or approve any plan, organisation or product.
- It does not issue warnings, declare emergencies or direct response; those belong to competent authorities.
- It does not arrange or approve finance. Disaster finance is examined as sector understanding at Disaster Risk Finance at GRA, and governance dialogue happens at Disaster and Crisis Governance at the Global Risks Forum (GRF).
- It does not publish personal data about people affected by disasters, and case studies are anonymised unless consent is recorded.
Taking part, hosting or sponsorship gives no authority or influence over findings.
