📊 We cannot manage what we cannot measure.

In disaster risk reduction, data isn’t just useful — it’s essential.
Without knowing what hazards are present, who is most vulnerable, and what capacity communities have to cope, we can’t effectively prepare for or reduce disaster risks.

In this short video, Animesh Kumar, Head of UNDRR Bonn, explains why data is the foundation of resilience building and disaster risk management.

From identifying threats to guiding life-saving investments, data empowers governments, communities, and organizations to make informed decisions that protect lives, livelihoods, and development.
