In context
Territorial dialogue platforms are tools for organizing and mobilizing actions to place disaster risk reduction on the development agenda.
These are spaces in which knowledge can be strengthened and new ones acquired on that subject. In addition, they allow the concentration of ideas and experiences in matters of prevention, preparation, mitigation, response and recovery in case of eventualities.
