Disaster Risk Reduction - DRR

Published on Monday, 10 October 2016 13:05

Natural and other disasters which endanger and take human lives and cause significant material damage can happen everywhere and at any time, often suddenly and without any warning. In such situations, people easily panic because they do not know what should be done. Although we can never be completely safe from consequences of disasters, we can still do a lot to reduce their consequences – in the first place by being well prepared and familiar with preventive measures. Preparedness of local communities and individuals for preventive actions is very important in Disaster Risk Reduction – DRR.

More information on causes and types of natural and other hazards, as well as on preventive measures for reducing risks of disasters can be found in a DRR brochure, prepared by the Directorate for Emergency Management of the Ministry of Interior of Montenegro and FORS Montenegro within an EU-funded project "Cross-border Fire Protection“.
