Climate and Disaster Risk

Assessment (CDRA)
Climate and Disaster Risk Assessment (CDRA)

• Process of studying risks and vulnerabilities of

exposed elements
1. Population
2. Urban area
3. Natural resources
4. Critical point facilities
5. Lifeline infrastructure
• Seeks to establish risk and vulnerable areas by
analyzing the hazard, exposure, vulnerability/
sensitivity, and adaptive capacities of various
elements.
• Identifies priority decision areas that need to be
addressed

• Allows identification of DRR and CCAM measures

and spatial policy interventions
 Steps in CDRA
Collect and
organize climate • Involves gathering of climate change
information and characterizing hazards
change and hazard that may affect the locality
information

Scope the potential • Identifying key areas/sectors that may

impacts of hazards be affected by climate change and
natural hazards and determining likely
and climate change impacts (direct and indirect)

• Gathering baseline map and attribute

Develop the data on exposure, vulnerability and
exposure database adaptive capacity as basis for CCVA and
DRA
