Tools...
Working Group 3 is presently creating an inventory of risk analysis and vulnerability assessment tools particularly for local and urban
applications, which can be easily accessed both by UN-ISDR partners and the general public through the
Internet.

The main outputs will be:
A “Register” of tools and practices for risk-vulnerability-impact assessment (national & local level). The register will be geographically structured and according to regionally relevant parameters/thematic areas.
Annotated comments, which accompany the register assisting the user with identifying appropriate tools by describing their purpose, the situations they have been applied in, and the decision-making processes they can support.
A “Network and referral facility” of practitioners and institutions active in the area of risk assessment.

This will be done in incremental phases:
Phase I Preliminary version of the register.
Phase II Updated version of “Register” and annotated
comments.
Phase IIIPublication and dissemination of up-dated
version of the “register” and its “annotated
comments”, as well as the “referral facility”.

At present the project is in its first phase, namely the web-site architecture, the intensive collection of tools and information, the development through consultation of criteria and parameters defining best practice, and the organisation of the material in an accessible manner.

Resources have recently been secured for this activity from UNDP, UN-HABITAT and the ISDR Secretariat.
The project will be completed within one year; the inventory will then be permanently up-dated on-line and selected tools applied in practice.
