🌍 Disasters can strike anytime — but understanding who is most at risk can save lives.
In Sri Lanka, researchers and policymakers are combining national surveys, historic records, and future risk modelling to better understand how disasters affect people, homes, and services.
By identifying the most vulnerable communities and analyzing how disasters hit them hardest, this data-driven approach helps ensure that disaster risk reduction is inclusive, targeted, and effective.
🔍 This video explores how countries can turn data into real-world resilience — helping bridge the gap between hazard models and human realities.
Because when we understand risk better, we can make better decisions — for everyone.
