Get involved with the International Day for Disaster Risk Reduction

The theme for the 2026 International Day for Disaster Risk Reduction (IDDRR), commemorated on 13 October, is “Resilience starts at home.” This theme recognises that the home is both the primary site where disaster impacts are felt and the frontline of resilience-building. The 2026 campaign calls on all actors – governments, the private sector, civil society, organizations of persons with disabilities, women's groups, youth networks, diverse community leaders and households themselves – to take concrete actions to reduce disaster risk, where it matters most.

Responding to these calls can transform the disaster risk landscape, accelerate Sendai Framework implementation, and reduce the human and economic toll of disasters.

Participate in an event, promote one, or join the conversation on "Resilience starts at home".

Many events will be organized around the world to commemorate the International Day for Disaster Risk Reduction Day on 13 October.

Send us your activities so that we can amplify your events. We would be delighted to know more about how you are going to commemorate the Day. Find out more about organizing your own #DRRday #ResilienceStartsAtHome event.
