German Committee for Disaster Reduction

The German Committee for Disaster Reduction e.V. (German: Deutsches Komitee Katastrophenvorsorge e.V., DKKV) describes itself as a civil society platform for disaster risk reduction in Germany, an intermediary to international organisations and initiatives active in disaster risk reduction, and a competence center for national and international disaster risk reduction questions. Its stated vision is creating a resilient society through sustainable crisis and disaster risk preparedness, and its mission covers networking, initiating dialogues, providing action-oriented advice, research and communication, and storing and communicating knowledge. The DKKV runs a Promotional Award, launched in 2018 and awarded annually to Bachelor's and Master's theses in disaster risk reduction and disaster risk management.

The DKKV Promotional Award was launched by the German Committee for Disaster Risk Reduction in 2018 and has since been awarded annually to recognise current research and best practice examples related to disaster risk reduction and disaster risk management. The DKKV also references a 'Strategie 2030+' and the Sendai Framework among its materials.
