🔔 Research shows that HOW a disaster warning is phrased directly affects whether people act – and how quickly.

An effective warning message should always include these five essentials:
1️⃣ Source – Who is issuing the warning
2️⃣ Hazard & impacts – What the threat is and how it affects people
3️⃣ Location – The area at risk
4️⃣ Guidance – Clear actions to take
5️⃣ Time – When to act, or when the message expires

Getting these right can save lives by reducing hesitation and driving protective action.

🌍 The Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015–2030 is the global roadmap for making our communities safer and more resilient.

As the United Nations system’s lead agency for disaster risk reduction, UNDRR coordinates efforts to turn this vision into action — supporting countries and partners to reduce risk, prevent losses, and strengthen resilience.

📍 Through our regional offices and partnerships with governments, civil society and the private sector, we guide the implementation, follow-up and review of the Sendai Framework across all regions.

The Framework sets out seven global targets for 2030:
🎯 A — Reduce disaster mortality ⬇️
🎯 B — Reduce the number of affected people ⬇️
🎯 C — Reduce economic losses relative to global GDP ⬇️
🎯 D — Reduce damage to critical infrastructure and disruption of basic services ⬇️
🎯 E — Increase the number of countries with DRR strategies ⬆️
🎯 F — Strengthen international cooperation for DRR ⬆️
🎯 G — Increase access to multi-hazard early warning systems and risk information ⬆️

Together, these goals aim for one shared outcome:
💪 a substantial reduction of disaster risk and losses in lives, livelihoods, health, and assets worldwide.

⚠️ Droughts are becoming more frequent, widespread and intense, damaging lives and livelihoods of people and the integrity of ecosystems worldwide.

They emerge from the interaction of natural climate variability, climate change and human water resource management, with complex cascading effects. 📉

We need a systemic perspective to understand how different drivers of hazard, exposure, vulnerability and their root causes combine to create drought risks, and find sustainable solutions to achieve water resilience and security for all. 🛠️💦
