The International Day for Disaster Risk Reduction is a day to celebrate how people and communities are reducing their risk to disasters and raising awareness about the importance of DRR. It's also a day to encourage every citizen and government to take part in building more disaster resilient communities and nations.

This year the focus of the International Day for Disaster Risk Reduction is one billion people around the world who live with some form of disability. Representing one fifth of the world's population, persons living with disabilities have unique contributions, often overlooked, to help reduce the risk of disasters and build resilient societies and communities.

IDDR 2013 intends to switch on and amplify this critical issue of including the needs of persons living with disabilities now and for the post‐2015 framework for disaster risk reduction.
