Programme / Standardizing Hazard Information for Policymakers

The International Science Council (ISC), in partnership with the UN Agency for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR) are conducting the first review of the UNDRR/ISC Hazard Information Profiles (HIPs), three years after their first publication in 2021. This side event: ”UNDRR/ISC Hazard Information profiles – standardizing hazard information for policymakers“ will present the HIPs and the process leading to their development and review. Examples of their uses in different contexts will also be presented to highlight the benefit of the standardization of the information on hazards to support policymakers. 

The format of the session will combine presentations and a discussion between panel members and the audience. This session will be an opportunity to raise awareness about the HIPs and engage with the audience by sharing with them the recent call for reviewers shared with the ISC members.
