Hazard Information Profiles (HIPs)

Description: Responding to increasing calls for 'a data revolution, rigorous accountability mechanisms and renewed global partnerships', the Hazards Information Profiles and the Technical report provide an important resource to support the implementation of disaster risk reduction and risk-informed investment, aligned with the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015–2030, but also the Sustainable Development Goals of Agenda 2030, the Paris Agreement on Climate Change and the Addis Ababa Action Agenda on Sustainable Financing. It provides a common set of hazard definitions to Governments and stakeholders to inform their strategies and actions on risk reduction and management.
