With preparedness, resilient infrastructure, smarter planning, and early warning systems, the same hazard becomes manageable. The difference is how we act before it strikes. (3/3)

Rice farmers in Mekong Delta
🌾 The Mekong Delta faces salinity, water loss & climate risks. A nature-based groundwater replenishment system could restore aquifers, secure clean water, boost crops & protect ecosystems, showing #NatureBasedSolutions in action.

Image shows a series of wooden blocks, each with a human profile printed on them, linked by black lines to demonstrate the idea of a network. Overlaid is the text: Our Question - How can agencies effectively engage with distributed emergency communication environments in ways that strengthen trust and information accuracy.
We’re asking our community to help answer key policy questions on emergency communication in today’s distributed environments.
Share insights from your research to help inform Scottish resilience policy.

Conference announcement graphic with the title “Invisible in Risk: DRR & hyper-marginalised communities” under the heading “#DRRLive Presents”. The image shows faint silhouettes of diverse people standing together, including a person using a wheelchair on the left. The text states “Online / In Person” and “Save the date – 07 October 2026”. The background is light with a subtle grid pattern.
🚨 Save the date: 07 Oct 2026 🚨
Looking beyond the marginalised groups recognised in most frameworks, this one day conference will focus on communities who are hyper-marginalised & often pushed to the edges of #DRR due to social stigma and/or exclusion.
Speakers and details soon.

Graphic with a red, gold, and blue background featuring the United Nations emblem in the top left corner. White text reads: “The world spent $2.7 trillion on its militaries in 2024.” To the right are two simple white outline figures wearing military helmets and body armour. At the bottom the source is cited as the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute. A small arrow in the bottom right suggests there may be a following slide.
Global military spending reached $2.7tn in 2024.
Redirecting just 1% to #DRR would release $27 billion a year to reduce disaster risk. That could expand early warning systems, strengthen resilient infrastructure, & embed inclusive systems around the world.

Glaciers are often seen as slow and predictable. But some move in sudden bursts, surging downslope over short periods of time.

And this is exactly why we need global ground motion services. Large, slow-moving slope systems don’t respect borders — and millimetre-scale deformation beneath real communities demands systematic, open, long-term #InSAR monitoring at continental to global scale. #DRR

Cover page with the title “A.I. in Inclusive DRR” in large bold text, followed by “The basics.” underneath. The background is a soft gradient blending pale blue and light purple tones. In the centre is an abstract graphic made of thin, curved blue lines forming a flowing, wave-like shape. At the bottom of the page, the text reads “Kevin Blanchard” and “February 2026”.
We are integrating AI into #DRR at pace. But I fear we're not clear on who these systems are built to see, & who they'll miss.
I’ve written a briefing "AI in Inclusive DRR: The basics", to explain how #AI actually works in practice & why inclusion must shape it from the start.

A screenshot of a LinkedIn article page. The header image reads “The future of inclusive DRR: key trends” in teal text over a dark background featuring a modern building facade and graphic design elements. Below, the article title reads “The future challenges of inclusive DRR: My reflections from practice.” The author is Kevin Blanchard MSc FRGS, described as a senior policy adviser on disaster risk reduction and climate adaptation, inclusion, risk governance, and decision making. The publication date shown is February 18, 2026.
After 15+ years in #DRR, I’m still seeing the same conversations about inclusion and the same reluctance to change the systems behind exclusion.
I’ve shared some reflections on where inclusive DRR may be stalling and why.
