Join us on 8th March 2024 at 10:00-14:00 GMT when the MYRIAD-EU team will be hosting a wikithon (edit-a-thon) on the Disaster Risk Gateway.

The wikithon is an online collaborative wiki-editing session that aims to create a resource for the disaster risk and climate change adaptation communities by creating articles on:

  • existing approaches for understanding, analysing, and managing multi-hazard and multi-hazard risks,
  • past and current multi-hazard and multi-risk projects and initiatives.


The wikithon is open to anyone with relevant interests, and no previous experience of editing wikis is required to take part. Register your interest in participating at the link below and to receive the Zoom link to the event.


Any level of contribution, from creating new pages or editing existing ones, to suggesting page topics and giving feedback on the wiki is welcomed and important.
