IHRR provides Projects and development for Disaster Risk Reduction

A Research Institute established with an objective to assess and understand the risk to contribute for the sustainability complying with the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction (SFDRR), IHRR envisions to understand the risk and application of interdisciplinary knowledge with technologies to contribute for risk reduction and bridging of academic research with professionals and policymakers for the sustainability.

Our Service

Research and Development

In the realm of research and development, the Institute for Himalayan Risk Reduction (IHRR) is at the forefront of creative initiatives that strengthen resilience to disasters and advance sustainable practices. IHRR pioneers data-driven solutions to manage risks and empower communities through a range of activities, including temperature extreme prediction analytics, landslide susceptibility mapping, and flood modeling. Through the integration of technical improvements, stakeholder engagement, and holistic approaches, IHRR aims to progress knowledge, improve methodology, and create tools that improve preparedness, response, and recovery activities in places that are vulnerable.
