摘要：The German Committee for Disaster Reduction (DKKV) is the largest platform for disaster risk reduction in Germany and has been promoting prevention and disaster risk reduction in science, practice, and politics since the beginning of the International Decade for Natural Disaster Reduction in 1990. The overarching leitmotif of the DKKV is the strengthening of societal resilience and fostering the exchange and knowledge transfer between research, operative actions, the policy level, and the public. The DKKV acts as an umbrella organization for German institutions and experts in the field of disaster risk reduction and functions as an intermediary to national and international networks and initiatives. Students and recent graduates are involved in the network and can actively participate in DKKV activities for a reduced membership fee. We hereby aim to empower young professionals and invite them to contribute to disaster risk reduction through the use of science, engineering, technology, and innovation through participation.
