🌟 What's the Big Deal:

 

In remote 🌱 Pacific Islands, crises like droughts and floods bring immense challenges. USAID's innovative emergency response, deploying mobile technology for efficient aid distribution, has reduced time and costs significantly 📈. This ensures rapid access to vital supplies, especially for geographically separated and their families 🌍. Interactive voice messages provide weather forecasts and guidance on nutrition, health, and safety, empowering communities. This digital approach is transforming disaster resilience 🌪️ in the Pacific Islands, with a profound impact on geographically separated and vulnerable families.

Disaster Resilience Scorecard

💥 What's the Big Deal:

The Disaster Resilience Scorecard, a comprehensive planning tool, empowers cities to become resilient in the face of natural and man-made disasters, ensuring the safety and well-being of their residents. 📊 The Disaster Resilience Scorecard, developed by the United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR), supported by USAID, European Commission, IBM, AECOM, and other partners, is a groundbreaking tool. 🌪️ It allows local governments to assess their disaster resilience, aligning with UNDRR's Ten Essentials for Making Cities Resilient. 📈 This tool aids local governments in monitoring and reviewing their disaster resilience progress and challenges. 📂 It aligns with the implementation of the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction: 2015-2030 and serves as a baseline for disaster risk reduction and resilience strategies.
