This report compiles challenges and recommendations within the field of risk information management in all disaster cycle phases according to the specifications in the Sendai Framework, and puts emphasis on the operational implementation of research and development. Supplementary to progress and plans in other science and operational fields, this report focuses on the challenges of the underlying information management efforts needed to cope with the complexity of actors and organizations. A systems management and engineering approach convincingly shows the necessity for transparent procedures of documentation, assessment, decision-making, action and goal reaching control in very dynamic situations of highly complex actors, specifications and boundary conditions. The report gives special attention to the aspects that broadly enlarged the overall scope of the Sendai Framework in comparison to its predecessor, the Hyogo Framework of Action. Finally, the report provides a set of actionable recommendations based on information management principles.
