About

The United Nations General Assembly has designated 13 October as the International Day for Disaster Risk Reduction (IDDRR) to promote a global culture of disaster risk reduction.

The theme of the 2022 International Day for Disaster Risk Reduction is about early warning and early action for all. This supports Target G of the Sendai Framework: ‘Substantially increase the availability of and access to multi-hazard early warning systems and disaster risk information and assessments to people by 2030.’

In Australia, significant efforts have been made to enhance public information and warnings to support communities to take action to protect themselves and their communities against the impacts of hazards and emergencies.

Join AIDR on 13 October to learn about the development of the Australian Warning System and the Australian Fire Danger Rating System, and how they will influence community preparedness, safety and action now and into the future.

Our expert panel will explore the evolution of public information and warnings in Australia, case studies, lessons and challenges for the practice, and how practitioners can best connect with at-risk communities to drive action.
