Disaster and Climate Change Risk Assessment Methodology

The Disaster Risk Management Plan (DRMP) is the document that describes and articulates all the structural and non-structural measures identified to reduce and manage the risks associated with a project, including potential impacts on the community and the environment, based on prior disaster risk assessments. It also serves as the documentary basis for monitoring the implementation of these measures by project teams, as the DRMP defines the responsible parties, required resources, material and human means, communication and training protocols, and other key aspects that will enable effective, comprehensive, and proactive implementation throughout the project's life cycle. This guide aims to be a technical reference to facilitate the development and implementation of these DRMPs in IDB infrastructure projects, aligning institutional action with the Sendai Framework 2015 - 2030, while aspiring to promote this good practice in infrastructure programs at a regional level beyond the institution itself.
