World Federation of Engineering Organizations (WFEO)—World Federation of Engineering Organizations Activities in Disaster Risk Reduction

Abstract

In the Sendai Framework, the importance of coordination mechanisms within and across sectors and with relevant stakeholders at all levels is stressed. Engineers are working for disaster risk management in the public sector, private sector, and community. Thus, the World Federation of Engineering Organizations (WFEO), which represents the engineering profession worldwide, should take an important role in achieving the goals of the Sendai Framework. This paper explains what WFEO and WFEO's committee on disaster risk management (CDRM) are, and activities of CDRM in achieving goals of the Sendai Framework.
