IDRiM 2023
The South Asia region forms an emblematic interface of development and risks to disasters, withrisks being further projected to increase. Exposure and vulnerability to hazards and their consequential impacts are being observed in the region. Frequent disasters are exacerbating existing
impacts and creating new ones. Rapidly growing population, contemporary climate change, frequent hazards, and atmospheric warming are unprecedented in this region thus compromising
the well-being of hundreds of millions of people and generating systemic risks. Disasters result
due to the intersection of three key elements: i) hazards, including climate-induced extremes,
earthquakes, landslides, cyclones, tsunamis, etc.; ii) exposure of assets and population; and iii)
vulnerability due to physical, social, economic, governance, and environmental factors. The South
Asia region is experiencing concurrent hazards - occurring simultaneously in time; compound
hazards- involving multiple drivers, preconditions, physical interactions, and path dependence
leading to different impacts and coping options; and cascading hazards trigger others, mostly
unexpected, similar to toppling dominoes. Therefore, it is essential to deepen the understandingof how these disasters translate into impacts on the environment, society, and infrastructure
through blending science, policy, and practice for disaster risk reduction towards inclusive andsustainable development.

Specific Objectives of IDRiM 2023••
•To summarize, and synthesize the science of disasters risks incorporating concurrent,compounding, and cascading hazards. ​To build a knowledge exchange platform for facilitating dialogue among researchers,
practitioners, policy-makers, civil society, and local representatives of disaster risk response community.​To suggest the best practices for risk-informed inclusive and sustainable development
at multilevel and deliberate on frameworks for inclusive disaster risk policies.​Sub-themes
1. Progress in achieving Priorities under Sendai
Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR)
for inclusive sustainable development in SouthAsia​
2. Hazard mapping and modelling, spatial vulnerability assessment, and disaster risk​
3. Monitoring and early warning of natural andbiological hazards​
4. Advanced techniques - use of AI & ML in DRR​
5. Disaster-induced displacement, migration andcommunity response for DRR ​6. Disaster risk management in the Himalayanregion​
7. Climate Change Adaptation and integrationwith DRR​
8. Monitoring and Management of man- maderisks (including Na-Tech and industrial hazards)​
9. Economic perspectives, assessment of direct
and indirect economic damages, estimation
techniques, and policy (financing, insurance,etc.)​
10. Role of critical infrastructure (CI) in disasterrisk management, and vulnerability of CI

Special Events
Call for Video Competition
Video submissions are invited from students
and young professionals in Disaster Management to demonstrate the different facets ofdisaster management and showcase the possibilities of enhanced disaster response throughscience, policy, and practice.
The winner of the competition will be awarded during IDRiM 2023 Conference, along witha 50% registration fee concession. In addition,
the top five presenters’ videos will be showcased during IDRiM 2023 Conference.
Pre-Conference Events
IDRiM 2023 Conference Organizing Committee
is going to host special Pre-Conference events

to impart practical knowledge of Advanced Scientific Tools and enhance the human capacityof young Disaster Management Professionals.
Networking Session for Early Career Scientists
To enhance cooperation and global collaboration in Disaster management research andpractice, the IDRiM 2023 Conference Organizing Committee is going to arrange a Special
Networking Session for Early Career Scientists with Experts from Disaster Management.
Through this session, the young disastermanagement professionals can discuss andexchange their ideas on different practical aspects of disaster management and strengthen
the global network.

IDRiM 2023 Organizing Committee
Conforming to the National vision on Disaster Management promulgated by National Disaster
Management Authority (NDMA), “To build a safer and disaster resilient India by a holistic, proactive, technology driven and sustainable development strategy that involves all stakeholders
and fosters a culture of prevention, preparedness and mitigation“. The Center of Excellence inDisaster Mitigation and Management (CoEDMM) in IIT Roorkee has been established in 2005 asa response to Government of India’s mandate to accomplish a risk resilient society through prioritizing techno-managerial capacity building.
The Centre is facilitating cutting edge, cross-sectoral research and conducts training on disaster
risk, hazard and vulnerability mapping, and their mitigation and pre and post disaster management. Since 2015, the Centre is accommodating SDG and CCA concepts with SFDRR into regularchores/activities through projects, trainings, expert lectures, conferences, workshops. Now it isacknowledged as a knowledge, science and technology dissemination platform even beyond thenational boundary.
