Articles on Disaster Risk Gateway are currently grouped into <span style="color: #8836EA">Multi-hazard Risk Assessment</span> and <span style="color: #8836EA">Multi-hazard Risk Management</span> according to details and key words provided with submissions. We acknowledge the overlap between this categorisation. Multi-hazard Risk Assessment approaches speak to understanding disaster risk, the first priority for action of the UN Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction. Multi-hazard Risk Management approaches speak to governance and policy, and can include Multi-hazard Risk Assessment approaches.


To create and edit pages on Disaster Risk Gateway you need a user account. Watch the '''[https://www.loom.com/share/b38be79dba104a0e8956af0d0bf692ac?sid=73889aa5-dbfb-4041-9757-1bc20bab7eff|<span style="color: #8836EA">Disaster Risk Gateway - How to create an account video walkthrough</span>]'''
== Who can Contribute to Disaster Risk Gateway? ==
Disaster Risk Gateway content is created and edited by its users. The aim of the wiki is to act as a knowledge base of multi-hazard, multi-risk approaches and resources that is owned, grown and maintained by a community of contributors and editors. Anyone with relevant knowledge – researchers, academics, practitioners, policymakers, educators, and students – can create or edit pages once they have registered for a user account.

The Resources category contains links to resources related to multi-hazard risk assessment and management (see [[Contribute#How to add to the Resource page?|<span style="color: var(--myriad-blue) ">''How to add to the Resource page?''</span>]]).

Who can Contribute to Disaster Risk Gateway?

Disaster Risk Gateway content is created and edited by its users. The aim of the wiki is to act as a knowledge base of multi-hazard, multi-risk approaches and resources that is owned, grown and maintained by a community of contributors and editors. Anyone with relevant knowledge – researchers, academics, practitioners, policymakers, educators, and students – can create or edit pages once they have registered for a user account.

What pages can be included in the Catalogue?

The Catalogue currently contains three categories of pages. Each page in the Multi-hazard Risk Assessment and Multi-hazard Risk Management categories summarises an approach (platform, framework, method, model or tool) for multi-hazard risk assessment or multi-hazard risk management, respectively. The Resources category contains links to resources related to multi-hazard risk assessment and management (see How to add to the Resource page?).

Each page contributed on a multi-hazard risk assessment or multi-hazard risk management approach must meet the criteria below. Pages that do not meet the criteria will be removed from the site.

  1. The approach is an example of a platform, framework, method, model or tool developed for multi-hazard risk assessment or management that exists and is available for use (i.e. no incomplete and unpublished work).
  2. The approach is multi-hazard risk relevant, i.e. it relates to
    • more than one hazard/risk and/or
    • the interrelationships between hazards/risks and/or
    • exposure, vulnerability, impact in multi-hazard contexts and/or
    • application in a multi-hazard risk project
  3. Be applicable to any aspect of disaster risk, including: understanding disaster risk, communicating and awareness raising, decision-making and policy making related to risk prevention, mitigation, transfer, preparedness and building resilience.
  4. The content on the page being created should not contain any material that is not publicly available (open access). If the approach you wish to write about is pay for access, please only include text derived from publicly available sources, e.g. an abstract. Please be aware of copyright and ensure that you have not directly copied any text or other materials from a source without permission.
  5. Page content should comply with the terms and content standards outlined in the Disaster Risk Gateway Terms of Use.

If there's something you would like to create a page on that does not fit into these categories, please email us and we will help to create a space on the wiki for you to add to .

What happens after new pages and edits are made?

All new pages and edits to pages are logged. The Disaster Risk Gateway admin team reviews the changes as soon as possible after they are made to ensure they comply with the Terms of Use. New pages that do not meet content standards will be removed from the Multi-hazard Risk Management and Multi-hazard Risk Management pages and the authors will be invited to make revisions. If acceptable revisions are not made, the page will be permanently deleted. Edits to pages that do not meet content standards will be rejected and the page will be returned to the version before the edits were made.

How to add to the Resource page

The Resources section of the catalogue collates links to resources that are relevant to relevant to multi-hazard and multi-risk assessment and management (e.g. past and present multi-hazard risk projects, relevant glossaries, intergovernmental initiatives). Currently editing is restricted to the admin team. If you know of a resource that you think should be added to the Resources page, please email us.

Help

Help pages, FAQs and information videos are in development. In the meantime, you can email any questions to the admin team. The inbox is currently monitored Mon-Fri between 09:00-17:00 (UTC) and the team will get back to you as soon as possible, depending on availability.
