CUDRR+R is happy to announce the completion of another report for the UN Office for Disaster Risk Reduction. Local Government Powers for Disaster Risk Reduction: A Study on Local-Level Authority and Capacity for Resilience is a baseline study on the types of authorities and capacities local governments have to undertake DRR actions and build urban resilience. The study develops benchmarks for the Ten Essentials promoted in the Making Cities Resilient campaign, and is based on research from collaborating partners and participating cities.
