Disaster Risk Management „Made in and with Germany“

▪ Inter-sectoral approach: bringing together relevant federal ministries (BMI,

BMWi, AA, BMBF, BMUB) and subordinated entities related to DRM.

▪ Clustering German expertise in DRM: services and technologies from the

public and private sectors, academia and civil society.

▪ Linking German and international solution-oriented approaches for DRM

through project cooperation and cost-sharing among partners, countries, and

regions.

▪ International positioning: promoting German participation in global and regional

DRM networks, initiatives and exchange formats and by combining supply and

demand (match-making).
