About this book

This report provides a global snapshot of local-level resilience building activities and identifies trends in the perceptions and approaches of local governments toward disaster risk reduction, using the Ten Essentials for Making Cities Resilient developed by the Campaign as a framework. This report also analyses the factors that enable urban disaster risk reduction activities, including how the Campaign has helped improve local knowledge of disaster risk and support capacity building. The Making Cities Resilient Campaign seeks to encourage and support all urban centers to reduce risks and become resilient to disasters.
