Measuring risk management
The Risk Reduction Index will measure the effectiveness of risk management policies, strategies and activities for reducing the impact of natural disasters on vulnerable local communities. It is a project that aims to promote learning and sharing of lessons from risk reduction interventions.

Comprehensive
The RRI starts from the realization that procrastination in disaster risk reduction is a result of both lack of commitment and knowledge. It sets out to fill a gap in terms of providing a comprehensive framework for measuring factors of risk and our adaptation to these at country, regional and global levels.

Based on Hyogo
The Index methodology will be based on the 2005 Hyogo Framework for Action (HFA), the world’s first international agreement on disaster reduction, and will particularly focus on the fourth Hyogo priority of reducing underlying risk factors.
