The Expertise Locator System is an initiative proposed and implemented by Asian Pacific Disaster Resilience Center in order to build an comprehensive list of the Experts specialized in Disaster Resilience from around the World. It is designed to serve as a platform where people with expertise on building Disaster Resilience from around the Globe come together to build a concerted synergy in preparing for the potential disasters. It is a strong belief that in order to build a strong resilience to better prepare the nations and its people prone to the natural disasters, optimizing the resources is an essential key. For that to happen, it is quintessential to be able to find the contacts of relevant people from a comprehensive list.

The following list of contacts of the Experts in Disaster Resilience is presented by following categories; Europe & North America, Asia & Africa, External Partners and IFRC Delegation. It is imperative that the data should be used wisely in sole purpose of contacting the individuals for the DRR purpose.
  • Europe & North America
  • Asia & Africa
  • External Partners
  • IFRC Delegation
