Disaster Risk Reduction and Knowledge Management

I have been engaged by the United Nations International Strategy for Disaster Reduction UNISDR to assist them with more effective knowledge management.

As a first step, I am very keen to make contact with those KM practitioners and KM consultants who have experience in this area and/or who have a very strong interest.

The first step is to find out what work is being done already with KM and DRR.
Are there any communities of KM practitioners in this area?

If one doesn't already exist, I would like to create a forum/community of KM practitioners to help move forward faster with effective KM for disaster risk reduction.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Planetary Knowledge

I am setting up a website www.planetaryknowledge.com, a blog, google knols, and social networking sites, all around this subject.

I will use these websites and webtools to develop my book and, hopefully, a global community around Planetary Knowledge.
