ASDR Platform

The ASDR Platform (Austrian Strategy for Disaster Risk Reduction) deals with the national implementation of UNDRR activities and the UNDRR Sendai Goals and Strategy. For this purpose, a national focal point has been established at GeoSphere Austria to coordinate these activities. Partners come from various sectors: federal ministries, federal states, emergency response organizations, academia, and the private sector. The goal is to implement the Sendai Framework 2015-2030 of the United Nations in Austria.

As part of the ASDR Platform, the National Damage and Event Database for Austria is being created.
