Living with Risk:
Global Review of Disaster Reduction Initiatives

Living with risk: a global review of disaster reduction is the first comprehensive effort by the United Nations system to take stock of disaster reduction initiatives throughout the world. Coordinated by the Secretariat of the International Strategy for Disaster Reduction (ISDR), the report discusses current disaster trends, assesses policies aimed at mitigating the impact of disasters, and offers examples of successful initiatives. It also recommends that risk reduction be integrated into sustainable development at all levels – global, national and local.

The full text of the prelimary publication is available on ISDR’s
websites (www.eird.org and www.unisdr.org)
The final publication will be available early 2003.
