Over the past 20 years or so, TorqAid has worked with its students to develop a diagrammatic framework of four key diagrams, which can be used to clearly illustrate key aspects of all disasters. This material is included in an article entitled a ‘Disaster Risk Management (DRM) Diagrammatic Framework’, with this article being accessed here.  This has been updated to January -March 2023.

There is key information here for both the global humanitarian/development practitioner, and secondary/tertiary student. The material includes:

• Four key TorqAid diagrams, namely the Disaster Risk Management Cycle (DRMC); the Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) diagram; the DRM Planning diagram; and the Project Management Cycle (PMC). There are also variants of the DRMC and DRR relating to slow-onset hazards such as drought.
• Applications of the DRMC diagram to the 2020-2022 Covid-19 pandemic

The DRM framework is also the basis for much of the material for the 11 topics covered in the 2023 Participatory Disaster Risk Management (PDRM)  training program.  Details of these can be accessed here:
