This disaster risk management (DRM) glossary of terms aims to address this very fundamental problem in promoting DRM/disaster risk reduction (DRR) in Thailand. It will be central to the contemporary understanding and evolving practice of DRM/DRR in Thailand, and will ensure that common definitions are clear across sectors and stakeholders, in turn, promoting more effective DRR mainstreaming in development.
