Integrated Disaster Risk Management Information System (DRMIS), Vietnam

Solutions Brief

The ‘Solutions’ series shares practical and replicable local knowledge through our work across Vietnam on how to build resilience to climate hazards.

Summary

The DRMIS Tool is a user-centered system developed collaboratively with national, provincial and commune partners through iterative consultations and testing to close the long-standing gaps in data management, risk assessment, and verical coordination, which have been intensified by the recent administrative reform and new two-tier government structure. The tool is evolving from a commune-level Excel package jointly developed between ISET and Plan into a web-based platform that digitalizes DRM templates, integrates simple WebGIS, and automates reporting and plan consolidation for communes and provinces. Designed to fit provincial needs while remaining adaptable, it significantly reduces the time required for data collection and processing while improving risk understanding, data quality, consistency and systemwide coherence in DRM planning.
