Disaster Reduction Gateway

Welcome to the Disaster Reduction Gateway, an initiative of the Benfield UCL Hazard Research Centre to promote information sharing and co-operation between people with an interest in disaster reduction.

On this site you will find links to the websites of organisations, groups and individuals who are involved in disaster reduction or support it in some way. All are based in the UKor Europe but many are active internationally.

At present, the site concentrates on those involved in efforts to protect society against natural disasters but will expand in due course to include conflict and other man-made disasters. It may also include more information on the humanitarian sector in time.

This site will be updated every few months, but we rely on you, the users, to tell us about mistakes, omissions or new developments we haven’t noticed. Contact John Twigg (j.twigg@ucl.ac.uk).
