• Creating cutting-edge disaster risk management tools, growing applied knowledge and deepening financial protections not only strengthens Brazil’s ability to mitigate smaller-scale, recurrent disasters at the local level, but also helps to build urban resilience throughout the country.

• Supporting national and local governments in Central America to better understand disaster resilience and climate risks thus enhancing urban resilience

• In order to improve risk management through better disaster preparedness in the Africa region, 15 African countries joined a regional program to strengthen their technical capacity in hydromet services.

• "Over much of the past decade, Bangladesh’s development prospects have been buoyed by a record of strong and sustained economic growth. Yet even as the country’s bustling urban areas, including the capital city Dhaka, have helped fuel that growth, rapid and unplanned development is leaving millions of people more vulnerable not only to natural hazards, including cyclones, floods, and earthquakes, but also to the impacts of climate change. In response to this challenge, Bangladesh has embarked on a comprehensive urban resilience agenda. The government strongly recognizes the importance of risk data for informing and driving that agenda, and is working to strengthen the infrastructure for collecting, sharing, and analyzing risk data."

• Building urban resilience in Morocco at both the local and national level has helped to increase the application of risk information in public policy and investment planning, informed government policy and strategies, and improved performance of national and city agencies in the quality and timeliness of emergency response.
