The aim of the Disaster Risk Gateway is to provide a platform for the international disaster risk community to find and share good practices, frameworks, methods, models and tools for reducing disaster risk.


The core structure has been written by the [https://www.bgs.ac.uk/ <span style="color: purple">British Geological Survey</span>] (BGS) as part of the [https://www.myriadproject.eu/ <span style="color: fuchsia">MYRIAD-EU</span>] project. Initial content has been provided by MYRIAD-EU project partners and uploaded by BGS. We welcome new content from researchers and practitioners across the disaster risk community, which can be submitted here.  
== Who can Contribute to Disaster Risk Gateway? ==
Disaster Risk Gateway content is created and edited by its users. The aim of the wiki is to act as a knowledge base of multi-hazard, multi-risk approaches and resources that is owned, grown and maintained by a community of contributors and editors. Anyone with relevant knowledge – researchers, academics, practitioners, policymakers, educators, and students – can create or edit pages once they have registered for a user account.  


The articles are grouped into [[Multi-hazard Risk Assessment|<span style="color: blue">Multi-hazard Risk Assessment</span>]] and [[Multi-hazard Risk Management|<span style="color: blue">Multi-hazard Risk Management</span>]] according to details and key words provided with submissions. We acknowledge the overlap between this categorisation. Multi-hazard Risk Assessment approaches speak to understanding disaster risk, the first priority for action of the UN Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction. Multi-hazard Risk Management approaches speak to governance and policy, and can include Multi-hazard Risk Assessment approaches.

== How to create or edit a page ==
[[File:User Guide Create and edit pages.pdf|thumb|right|250px|User Guide]]
The types of content that will be included in Disaster Risk Gateway will be expanded as the wiki develops. As of January 2025, we are sourcing pages describing multi-hazard risk assessment and/or management approaches (platforms, frameworks, methods, models or tools - see inclusion criteria). Each page describes a single approach. You can add or edit a page on an approach that you have worked on or that you have knowledge of. To create or edit a page, type the name of the page into the relevant box below and select the button to be taken to a form to enter the page details. The name should be the name of the approach. Once you have completed the form your new page or page edits will be published. Go to [[:Category:Multi-hazard Risk Assessment|<span style="color: var(--myriad-blue) ">Multi-hazard Risk Assessment</span>]] or [[:Category:Multi-hazard Risk Management|<span style="color: var(--myriad-blue)">Multi-hazard Risk Management</span>]] to view your contributions. Additional information is available in the [[:Category:User guides|<span style="color: var(--myriad-blue)">'''User Guide''']].

What can pages be created in the Catalogue?

If you wish to create a page on a multi-hazard risk assessment or multi-hazard risk management approach, please make sure it meets the criteria below. Pages that do not meet the criteria will be removed from the site.

  1. The approach is an example of a tool, method, model or framework developed for multi-hazard risk assessment or management that exists and is available for use (i.e. no incomplete and unpublished work).
  2. The approach is multi-hazard risk relevant, i.e. it relates to
    • more than one hazard/risk and/or
    • the interrelationships between hazards/risks and/or
    • exposure, vulnerability, impact in multi-hazard contexts and/or
    • application in a multi-hazard risk project
  3. Be applicable to any aspect of disaster risk, including: understanding disaster risk, communicating and awareness raising, decision-making and policy making related to risk prevention, mitigation, transfer, preparedness and building resilience.
  4. The content on the page being created should not contain any material that is not publicly available (open access).

All new pages and edits to pages are logged. The Disaster Risk Gateway admin team reviews the changes as soon as possible after they are made to ensure they comply with the Terms of Use. New pages that do not meet content standards will be removed from the Multi-hazard Risk Management and Multi-hazard Risk Management pages and the authors will be invited to make revisions. If acceptable revisions are not made, the page will be permanently deleted. Edits to pages that do not meet content standards will be rejected and the page will be returned to the version before the edits were made.
