The Global Facility for Disaster Reduction and Recovery (GFDRR) is a global partnership that helps developing countries better understand and reduce their vulnerability to natural hazards and climate change. GFDRR is a grant-funding mechanism, managed by the World Bank, that supports disaster risk management projects worldwide. Working on the ground with over 400 local, national, regional, and international partners, GFDRR provides knowledge, funding, and technical assistance.

- Open Data For Resilience (OpenDRI)Open Data for Resilience Initiative (OpenDRI) applies the concepts of the global open data movement to the challenges of reducing vulnerability to natural hazards and the impacts of climate change. OpenDRI supports World Bank Regional Disaster Risk Management Teams to build capacity and long-term ownership of open data projects with client countries that are tailored to meet specific needs and goals of stakeholders around three main areas of Sharing Data, Collecting Data, Using Data. All data is published under an open license. Projects include Open Cities Africa, with national projects in: Niger (flood hostpots and mitigation), Uganda (drought risk information and disaster risk financing), Zanzibar (vunlerability to natural disasters), Pacific Islands (Natural Disasters and Climate Change), Sri Lanka (evidence based methods for natural disaster response), Afghanistan (disaster risk decisionmaking), St Vincent and the Grenadines (hydroclimatic disasters), Saint Lucia (post disaster rehabilitation), Jamaica (storm even impact), Serbia (disaster preparedness), Indonesia (disaster management especially flooding), Seychelles (site specific risks of floods, earthquakes, cyclones, storm surge and tsunamis), Muaritius (under development), Madagascar (under development), Vietnam (natural hazards especially flood risks and climate change impacts), Bangladesh (under development), Pakistan (earthquakes and monsoon floods), Nepal (Seismic risk), Haiti (storms, flooding, landslides, environmental degradation), Guyana (under development), Grenada (under development), Dominica (extreme weather events), Colombia (flooding, landslides, increased vulnerability due to insufficient urban planning), Antigua and Barbuda (cyclones, fires and flooding), Belize (storm, flood and tsunami risks), Bolivia (natural hazards and climate change), Kyrgyz Republic (risk data on meteorological, geological, geophyical and boilogical hazards), Philippines (typhoones and monsoon floods recovery data), Tanzania (flood maps), Mozambique (flood, cyclone and windstorms), Comoros (flood, storm, volcanic eruption), Malawi (information to develop schools, healthcare and agriculture against floods and droughts), Armenia (earthquakes, drought, hailstorms, landslides)1Licence not specifiedover 1 year ago
- ThinkHazard!ThinkHazard! provides a general view of the hazards, for a given location, that should be considered in project design and implementation to promote disaster and climate resilience. The tool highlights the likelihood of different natural hazards affecting project areas (very low, low, medium and high), provides guidance on how to reduce the impact of these hazards, and where to find more information. The hazard levels provided are based on published hazard data, provided by a range of private, academic and public organizations. Users and potential partners can contact ThinkHazard! administrators with queries or information to add to the tool, at the ThinkHazard! feedback form. This form is available on every page of the website.1Licence not specifiedover 1 year ago
