🌍 What’s the difference between disaster risk reduction (DRR) and disaster risk management (DRM)?

✔️ DRR is the why — preventing new risks, reducing existing risks, and building resilience.
✔️ DRM is the how — the actions we take to put DRR into practice, like building defenses, planning evacuations, and preparing communities.

Together, DRR and DRM shift our focus from reacting to disasters to reducing the risks before they strike.

This short explainer video from the United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR) breaks down these key concepts in simple terms.
