Special report on the use of technology for disaster risk reduction

Summary

This report underscores how advances in digital technologies, such as artificial intelligence, Earth observation, geospatial analysis, and the Internet of Things, are transforming our ability to understand, monitor, and mitigate disaster risk by enhancing hazard detection, exposure mapping, vulnerability assessment, early warning systems, and recovery planning; yet it emphasizes that successful adoption requires context-specific, inclusive, and human-centric approaches, supported by capacity-building, equitable access, policy frameworks, and community engagement to ensure technologies complement, not replace, local knowledge and resilience efforts
