This is the blog of the UCL Institute for Risk and Disaster Reduction, where you will find the most recent news, developments, and commentaries from our research institute. We regularly feature content from both IRDR staff and guest writers.

The IRDR is a research institute at UCL bringing together more than 100 researchers across 12 different departments and seven faculties, along with humanitarian organisations and policy makers, all working together towards improved global risk and disaster reduction.
