Book excerpt: "In 2011, the Global Facility for Disaster Reduction and Recovery created the Open Data for Resilience Initiative (OpenDRI) to help people in vulnerable regions better understand the historical and changing risks they face from natural hazards. OpenDRI is a partnership of governments and international institutions that are building a deeper, collective understanding of risk by sharing information about their hazards, exposure, vulnerability, and risks. OpenDRI offers governments and their partners a process for cataloguing their existing data, engaging at-risk communities in mapping and curating data about their built environment, building partnerships around data. This field guide provides planners and program officers with a map of how to implement the collective effort that is OpenDRI. It is aimed at a person who needs to write a stategic vision, craft a budget, hire personnel, and evaluate the impact of open data. "
