Science in support of the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction
The Disaster Risk Management Knowledge Centre (DRMKC) is the Knowledge Centre of the European Commission that addresses the Science-Policy interface in the field of managing disaster risk - both natural and man-made - across the Commission, EU Member States and beyond. Keen to share European science, knowledge and expertise with the global community, the DRMKC has tackled several of the UNISDR Science and Technology Roadmap actions in its work programme.
