Credible information about risk is an essential element of Disaster Risk Management (DRM). Thousands of times each year, disasters reveal decisions about how to apply this information to the management of risk. When a school collapses during a moderate earthquake, citizens may point to the failure of the construction firm to adhere to building standards, or to the failure of a government to enforce building codes, or to the education ministry that should have retrofitted the structure to better resist known seismic risks. In each case, critical information was missing, information that might have driven a different choice about architectural designs, building materials, the site for the building (siting), or actions to remediate a known vulnerability. Across the disaster risk management cycle, institutions are now engaged in a process to build this stock of information. The aim is to improve the chain of decision making across an entire system, from the donors who fund retrofitting of schools to the parents who need to know how safe their local schools are.
