🌪️ Tropical cyclones trigger cascading risks that unfold across systems. 💡 Viewing cyclones through a multi-hazard lens strengthens early warning, preparedness & recovery by revealing where risks connect & where intervention has the greatest impact. ➡️ ow.ly/aJBk50Y7HwE

🎮 What if children could experience a flood before facing one in real life? In Nepal, students use VR, real flood risk data, and national early warning protocols to practise life-saving decisions before disaster strikes. Watch how immersive learning builds resilience. ⬇️

Pakistan's 2025 monsoon floods show a well-documented pattern: climate extremes + structural vulnerability = recurring large-scale disasters. Embedding risk into routine development planning gives long-term resilience outcomes. ➡️ ow.ly/YeSu50Zp2VI #PreventionWeb

The UNDRR-ISC Hazard Information Profiles update 2025 defines 281 hazards – here’s just a sample. Explore the trusted tool for risk assessment, preparedness, loss tracking & planning ➡️ ow.ly/guIT50XXUov

"Early warning systems are the most cost-effective protection against climate disaster." @UN Secretary-General António Guterres stressed that AI can strengthen earlier warnings, but trusted data, local capacity and communication remain essential. #EarlyWarningsForAll

🎮 Disaster risk reduction is most effective when people can put knowledge into practice. This week's #DRRvoices explores how simulation-based learning is helping students build practical resilience skills before disasters strike. ➡️ ow.ly/tKrq50ZoU21

AI is helping us better understand how landslides occur – so that we can reduce risks. Researchers at @RITtigers used landslide aerial views, elevation data andmachine learning to accurately identify landslide movements. Learn more ➡️ ow.ly/Ki4C50TrS3g

🌊🌊📢Tsunami risks are rising! These7️⃣smart solutions show how clever design – coupled with tried-and-tested wisdom – can help prevent tsunamis from becoming disasters. ➡️ ow.ly/ax8A50WS4ZR #GetToHighGround

🏙️ By 2050, 4.81 billion people could be exposed to at least one severe hazard. With 75% of 2050 infrastructure still to be built, better planning, resilient infrastructure and nature-based solutions can help build safer, more resilient cities. ➡️ ow.ly/9rIT50Zok7k

Vertical gardens can be a green fix for urban heat. 🪴🥵 Leafy vegetables planted in wall-mounted horizontal PVC pipes can reduce inside temperatures by up to 5°C. Bonus: a tasty, nutritious addition to the menu.😋 😎Now that's pretty cool! #NatureBasedSolutions

Disaster risks are not simple. Impacts often cascade across systems, creating new risks. Addressing systemic risks requires a new approach, working across silos, accepting a greater degree of uncertainty. Learn more about systemic risks ➡️ ow.ly/FkmA50TvUzx

☀️ What if a solar storm disrupted everyday life? A new report from @UNDRR, @ITU, and @sciencespo explores how cascading digital failures can affect essential services and outlines six priorities to strengthen resilience. ➡️ ow.ly/tmTz50ZnJXE

🚨 Effective early warnings begin with understanding risk. The new AI for MHEWS report explores how AI can connect data, improve vulnerability mapping, and strengthen impact assessments to support #EarlyWarningsForAll. ➡️ ow.ly/McnP50ZnPwC

📢 Trusted communication in disasters can save lives. Communication is a dynamic process, and is most effective when it can adapt and respond. Explore UNDRR’s Disaster Risk Communication Hub for other vital aspects of public risk communication 👉 ow.ly/t7xj50Yn0SO

Small Island Developing States (SIDS) are home to just 65 million people, yet they face some of the highest levels of climate and disaster risk. Disaster risk reduction & #EarlyWarningsForAll are vital for SIDS' economic progress & development ➡️ ow.ly/QUp450ZnRjH #CREWS

🌱 Investing in nature-based solutions is a smart way to fund resilience, not disasters. Funding disaster resilience gives economic returns. 💰 🌐 Investing in reducing disaster risk makes financial sense. Because #ResiliencePays ➡️ow.ly/5y6550YgL5e

🚨The world needs leadership on disaster risk like never before! 📉 Global emissions need to be reduced by 7%+ every year for the next 10 years to reduce worsening #ClimateEmergency risks. 🫵 Does YOUR leadership have what it takes?

🕯️ 3 years ago today, on 6 Feb 2023, devastating earthquakes struck Türkiye & Syria, taking 50,000+ lives. Here's how we can honour the memory of earthquake victims: Safer buildings. Stronger communities. A safer future. ➡️ ow.ly/Q1vg50Y8cEF #BuildingResilience

🌋 Think a quiet volcano is a safe volcano? Think again. So-called “dormant” volcanoes often erupt with little warning, catching communities and authorities off guard. But all volcanoes send warning signals — we need to listen, invest, and act. ➡️ ow.ly/7Vgq50XSoXm
