Disaster Risk Reduction Regional Platform
The ERT attended the UNDRR Regional Platform in Uruguay. Global disaster response practitioners discussed the importance and impact of digital transformation of the aid sector, especially in the pivotal work of risk reduction and preparedness.
The ERT presented its work in the disaster relief space, implemented through our philanthropic initiative. We created use cases for partners on site, and presented our digital transformation initiatives and knowledge in the context of disaster risk reduction.
Our goal is to provide digital solutions for disaster preparedness to regional and national aid agencies in the area. Additionally, we aim to promote the adoption of digital solutions for disaster preparedness by introducing and encouraging aid agencies to understand and utilize them.
