Disaster Risk Planning & Management

Disaster risk planning and management involves coordinated actions to develop and implement strategies that reduce disaster risks through prevention, mitigation, and preparedness activities. By proactively addressing risks prior to hazardous events such as floods or earthquakes, the impacts of disasters can be minimised. Effective disaster risk management requires the collaboration and coordinated efforts of various stakeholders, with capacity-building being a critical component often emphasised in these efforts.

NIRAS provides a range of services to strengthen capacities and prepare plans that reduce risks posed to infrastructure, communities, and ecosystems to climate-induced and man-made hazards. Our core areas of expertise include undertaking disaster risk assessments – identifying hotspots and areas most vulnerable to disaster risks; supporting the development of risk-informed plans and strategies at national, regional, and local levels; and helping to prioritise interventions and investments for improved resilience.
