🗞️ In quiet times, media build preparedness.

When disaster strikes, media save lives.

Across the disaster risk management cycle, media play a decisive role, as UNESCO explains:

🔎 Mitigation – explaining risk drivers, exposing vulnerabilities, and making science accessible

🧭 Preparedness – strengthening early warning, readiness, and community coordination

🚨 Response – delivering trusted, real-time information and countering misinformation

🔄 Recovery – tracking accountability, equity, and lessons for future resilience

Resilience depends on information that is accessible, actionable, and trusted.⛓️
