"Education is key for not only protecting children but enabling them to take part in decision-making to reduce risks for all," says UN Secretary-General António Guterres in his message for International Day for Disaster Risk Reduction.🌐 "All countries can take steps to reduce risks to children, by ensuring universal coverage of multi-hazard early warning systems, constructing and retrofitting disaster-resilient schools; signing up to the Comprehensive School Safety Framework; and providing young people with the space and tools to become champions of resilience," he says. 💡Discover how you can help empower the next generation for a resilient future! ➡️ https://ow.ly/Ia5W50TJuVW #AreYouReady24 #DRRday

Day 3 of #DRD24: The final day of this year's Disaster Research Days 🔥 We started with opening presentations by Andreas Schaffhauser (GeoSphere Austria) who highlighted the importance of cooperation and the work of the national platform #ASDR (Austrian Strategy for Disaster Risk Reduction) in implementing the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction, and Chiara Menchise (United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR)) who spoke about vulnerable groups in disasters, especially children, who are impacted by disasters. The final panels of #DRD24 touch on topics such as higher education as a catalyst for disaster preparedness, the CERIS and E-STAG joined roadmap of actions, collaborative learning and action, and public policies and crises. As #DRD24 is nearing its end, we want to thank everyone who made this event happen, and who supported us as a speaker, moderator, or organiser!

🌟 HORA gewinnt den eAward 2024! 🌟 Das katastrophale Hochwasser von Anfang September hat uns vor Augen geführt, welche Zerstörung durch Naturgefahren entstehen kann. Tausende Menschen mussten ihre Wohnhäuser verlassen, Infrastruktur wurde beeinträchtigt und die Aufräumarbeiten dauern in einigen Gebieten noch an. Trotz alledem war Österreich im Vergleich zu einigen Nachbarländern gut vorbereitet und so konnte noch Schlimmeres verhindert werden. Prävention zahlt sich aus und HORA leistet dafür einen wichtigen Beitrag. Nach dem Jahrhundert-Hochwasser 2002 wurde HORA unter Mitwirkung des VVO ins Leben gerufen. Die digitale Gefahrenkarte hilft Bürgern, Einsatzkräften und Betrieben die Auswirkungen von Naturkatastrophen, wie Hochwasser, Erdbeben, Sturm, Hagel und Schnee etc., einzuschätzen und Präventionsmaßnahmen zu setzen. Inzwischen ist HORA ein internationales Vorzeigeprojekt, das Maßstäbe setzt. Und so freuen wir uns ganz besonders, dass HORA mit dem renommierten eAward 2024 ausgezeichnet wurde! Übrigens: Unter www.hora.gv.at kann jeder nachsehen, wie die Gefahrenlage an der eigenen Adresse aussieht.

Save the date 🗓 We're partnering with other national networks and initiatives for an insightful webinar at this year's 𝐄𝐮𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐂𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐥 𝐀𝐬𝐢𝐚 𝐑𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐑𝐢𝐬𝐤 𝐑𝐞𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 organised by the United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR) in Budva, Montenegro🚨 National organizations such as Nationale Plattform Naturgefahren PLANAT (CH), Disaster Competence Network Austria (AT), DKKV Geschäftsstelle (DE), and Association française pour la prévention des catastrophes naturelles et technologiques (AFPCNT) (FR) play a key role in their respective national risk reduction ecosystem, in understanding the #SendaiFramework and contributing to its implementation at national level. Towards a #risk and #resilience culture these organizations will share insights and learnings from their work, specifically on how to promote risk-based decision-making. The goal is to spark discussions on national organizations, their impact, learnings for other countries, and harness synergies through empowering end users and through a “network of networks”. Moderator: Philippe Quevauviller Speakers: ➡ Franziska Schmid (PLANAT) ➡ Christian Resch (DCNA) ➡ Benni Thiebes (DKKV) ➡ Roland NUSSBAUM (AFPCNT) The webinar will take place on 6 November 2024 at 13:00 CET. #event #EFDRR #drr #drm #resilience #resilientsocieties
