The media have an important role to play in creating awareness and distributing information before, during and after a disaster. By exploring the root causes of disasters and their social dimensions, the media are a key ally for disaster risk reduction (DRR).

The UN’s disaster risk reduction o�ce (UNISDR) conducted a media training program to educate journalists and media-related government o�cials about DRR issues. Organized by UNISDR in collabora-tion with Thompson Reuters, the project was funded by the European Commission’s Humanitarian Aid and Civil Protection Directorate General (ECHO).
