This presentation, from Emma Lovell, Senior Research Officer at the Overseas Development Institute and communications lead with the Raising Risk Awareness initiative, outlines a holistic assessment of risk that takes into account the hazard, vulnerability and exposure context to effectively inform decision-making in disaster risk reduction.

It also identifies how such information can help to bridge the science-communications-policy gap through multi-stakeholder partnerships. It was presented at the Global Platform for Disaster Risk Reduction in Mexico, May 2017 and was originally posted here.
