Community members can now create and share content collections, highlighting important resources on a topic of interest. Users can select and tag relevant content such as news, publications, blog posts and bring them together on a collection page, which they can share with their network. The feature can be used to highlight emerging issues or to put together a package of resources in support of a training or event.

In an effort to promote DRR knowledge to new audiences and platforms, PreventionWeb offers free access to its knowledge base, through a public API. The technology allows organizations to use, publish and contextualise PreventionWeb’s content, alongside their own data. The data can be filtered by theme, hazard, region or country and repurposed in a database, website or mobile app.

Subscribe to PreventionWeb daily or weekly alerts to keep up to date on everything DRR. Contact preventionweb@un.org to explore collaboration opportunities and share your suggestions on the future of the platform.
