Posted in Issue 112 - October 2009 Other Organizations
The Foundation for the Coordination of Information Resources for Disaster Prevention (FundaCRID) signed an agreement with UNICEF to launch a website specializing in resources on education and risk management. This website will make it easier for authorities, teachers, technicians, and cooperating institutions to access materials about risk reduction for the education sector.
In July, participants gathered in Guatemala for the Mitch +10 Regional Forum to strengthen Central American policy guidelines on risk management. The Mitch + 10 Declaration states that risk management must be integrated into planning processes and public investment.
The International Strategy for Disaster Reduction (ISDR) has announced “Building resilient cities, addressing urban risk” as the theme for the 2010–2011 World Campaign for Disaster Risk Reduction. The campaign builds on “cities at risk” and “urban risk” issues developed by the ISDR and its partners around the world.
