This book provides a comprehensive glossary of essential terminology used in disaster risk management. Developed through collaboration among experts in disaster health, emergency response, and crisis management, the book aims to establish a unified technical language for all organizations involved in disaster preparedness, response, and recovery.

The book serves as a foundational reference for professionals, researchers, and students working in disaster risk management and supports the development of shared understanding across agencies and sectors.
