What is it?
The Pacific Disaster Net is a web portal and database system of information on Disaster Risk Management in the Pacific region.

A test and development version is available online - http://www.pacificdisaster.net.

It will be a living collection of information made available through the Internet and alternative media.
It will bring together Disaster Risk Management information relating to:

• Governance
• Risk assessment
• Early warning and monitoring
• Risk reduction measures
• Disaster management
• Training and Tools

This information will be in a range of formats including reports, data inventories, maps, contacts, web links and more. The portal aims to provide different but simple and intuitive ways to search for relevant information.

Who will use it and how will it be used?
The portal will provide a valuable resource to all Disaster Risk Management partners working in the Pacific region including government agencies, regional bodies, non-government organisations and international agencies.
Pacific Disaster Net will provide access to Disaster Risk Management information which will facilitate planning and decision-making in Disaster Risk Reduction, Preparedness, Response and Recovery.

Who are we?
The portal is being developed by a partnership between SOPAC, the International Federation of the Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies, the United Nations Development Programme and the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs. These agencies are part of the larger Pacific Partnership Network Initiative assisting Pacific Island Countries to develop and implement National Action Plans for Disaster Risk Reduction and Disaster Management.
