Effective handling of crises relies on robust disaster management, which necessitates the availability of dependable data to foresee and oversee calamities for the EU and its partners. This DRMKC Flash News depicts how the Joint Research Centre (JRC) plays a pivotal role in bolstering the EU's preparedness and response to disasters by providing essential data, reports, and interactive dashboards. Some of these can be explored below, such as the newly released vulnerability report and dashboard of the Risk Data Hub, the INFORM Annual Report, the European Settlement Map 2018 and the drought report.

Furthermore, we are delighted to announce the upcoming 7th DRMKC Annual Seminar scheduled for November 21. The seminar's sessions will be dedicated to translating knowledge into action and devising a strategic plan for enhancing disaster resilience. We cordially invite you to discover more about this event by following this link.
