PreventionWeb: developing new features to meet your most important needs.
PreventionWebServing the information needs of the disaster reduction community.
Welcome to the first monthly redesign
newsletter. We have listened to your needs,
and are now starting to roll out new features
to help you in your DRR work, orient new
members of the DRR community, and make it
easier to share, find and connect.
APRIL 2014
New Features Coming Soon
VisualIn response to your feedback, we’re bringing PreventionWeb’s design to a new level. It’s modern, clean and easier to read.
SocialYou asked for it. Now have your say: soon you will be able to comment on content, create and share lists of your top picks, self-publish your DRR content, connect with others on the platform, and become a “Top Partner” on the platform.
DiscoverableFind important content more easily through improved feature modules, search and
query builders.
TopicalIf it is important, we will be featuring it! PreventionWeb will offer special sections to feature major events, and trending topics to help DRR professionals keep up to date.
Understanding Disaster RiskThe new Risks & Hazards section will help you easily understand disaster risk by providing a quick snapshot of key concepts, analysis and access to up-to-date data and information in plain language. Data viewers and visualizations will help everyone get a better picture of risk. The first phase will unpack the rich stories and analysis of the Global Assessment Reports 2009, 2011 and 2013.
Country & City ProfilesBuilding upon existing country profiles with the latest
policy, news and information, the redesign will add city
profiles and urban risk resources from Resilient Cities.
Visual representations will help you understand hazard
distribution and risk levels, as well as DRR progress.
Resources will also be added in local languages.
