That first event, held in London, focused in gendered perceptions of risk during flooding.

Circular logo for “#DRRLive Learning”. Inside the circle, three simplified human figures stand on an open book, including a wheelchair user and two standing figures, representing inclusion. Behind them are symbols of disaster risks, including a wave, buildings, a lightning bolt, and fire. The lower part of the circle shows a globe, suggesting global learning. The text “#DRRLive Learning” appears to the right in blue and grey.

🚨 Save the date: 07 Oct 2026 🚨

Looking beyond the marginalised groups recognised in most frameworks, this one day conference will focus on communities who are hyper-marginalised & often pushed to the edges of #DRR due to social stigma and/or exclusion.

Speakers and details soon.
