The objective of NORDRESS is to find ways to increase the resilience of the Nordic societies to withstand crises caused by natural hazards.
NORDRESS will explore resilience from the dimensions of individuals, communities, infrastructure, and institutions in Nordic societies in order to elucidate how resilience can be increased at different societal levels. By focusing on extreme weather, floods, mud slides, avalanches, and volcanic eruptions we will study the effects of natural hazards impacting all the Nordic countries from local to trans-boundary levels.
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.
