About

The goal of the Sustainable and Resilient Living in an Era of Increasing Disasters Network is to develop a more holistic framework for stakeholders involved in development decisions that directly or indirectly impact disaster resilience, preparedness, and response. This Network enhances decision-support tools optimized for non-traditional disaster management stakeholders, those who may be influenced but are disconnected from disaster resilience themes. Driven by the need to strengthen the broad capacity for integrated and interdisciplinary research, analysis, and action, this Earth Network aims to foster collaboration, innovation, and actionable insights for a more resilient future. It facilitates convenings that bring together diverse fields of analysis and action across all phases of disaster resilience, including mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery; develops a library of case studies to support education and analytical efforts both within and beyond its scope; and create a roadmap outlining critical development decisions that impact disaster resilience, along with their associated information requirements, to inform current and future research, policy, and practice.
