Journal of Catastrophe Risk and Resilience
Mission
The Journal aims to:
• Provide a forum for experts in both academia and industry to publish the methods and results of their research
• Remove some of the barriers to publication erected by traditional academic journals
• Foster a spirit of collaboration and methodological openness amongst industrial practitioners
• Make relevant academics visible to an industry which can consume and utilise their research
• Generate impact through the definition and maintenance of best practice
• Command a dedicated readership amongst catastrophe researchers, model vendors, and academic geoscientists
• Cultivate new avenues of interdisciplinary collaboration in academia to strengthen the link-fundamental to catastrophe risk research - between physics-and economics-adjacent fields
Voluntary Commitments
The Sendai Framework Voluntary Commitments (SFVC) online platform allows stakeholders to inform the public about their work on DRR. The SFVC online platform is a useful toolto know who is doing what and where for the implementation of the Sendai Framework, which could foster potential collaboration among stakeholders. All stakeholders (private sector, civil society organizations, academia, media, local governments, etc.) working on DRR can submit their commitments and report on their progress and deliverables.
