Disaster Risk Reduction in UNESCO designated sites
Good practices in disaster risk reduction
UNESCO designated sites actively build towards disaster-resilient communities through activities and programmes that engage local people and tourists by raising their awareness about natural hazards, associated risks and ways to reduce their impact.
By sharing good practices on Disaster Risk Reduction from various sites across the globe, a real and long-lasting “culture of prevention” can be established based on communication and mutual learning. The initiatives carried out at UNESCO designated sites are focused on earthquakes, volcanic activity, landslides, floods, tsunamis, cyclones and wildfires. To browse examples of good practices, select one of the examples below.
