Abstract
Significant number of disaster risk reduction projects is implemented around the world. Each of these projects can provide guidelines for future projects and can be adopted by other communities if their information is properly communicated and shared. These projects can also become a useful source of knowledge for teaching and training of future disaster risk reduction professionals. This chapter describes a disaster risk reduction web mapping project called MapDRR that uses ESRI Webapp Builder to map more than 600 disaster risk reduction projects around the world. This application uses advances in web mapping to add more values to the existing online information about the disaster risk reduction projects. MapDRR covers a diverse range of DRR cases implemented in many different countries to reduce the risk of different types of disasters at local, regional, national, and international levels. MapDRR provides both textual and contextual (visual) information to users by zooming into each project. MapDRR is enhanced regularly to include more DRR cases, countries.
