Page 44 - Approved_Harmonized_National_RD_Agenda_2017-2022

The research priorities in the agenda are organized into topics that address the four major
action themes for Disaster Risk Reduction and Management:
 Monitoring and Forecasting (Observation and Monitoring Networks, Technology
Development and Application for Monitoring, Modelling and Simulation for
Improvement of Monitoring and Forecasting)
 Hazard and Risk Assessment (Hazards, Vulnerability and Risk Assessment)
 Warning (Warning and Risk Communication)
 Proper and Timely Response (Technology Development and Application for Climate
Change Mitigation and Adaptation, Technology Development and Application for
Disaster Risk Management, and Policy Research).
