The CDRM was formally transferred from Japan to Peru during the WFEO General Assembly, in December 2017. The <a style=\"color: #115578;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cip.org.pe\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Peruvian Engineers Association (CIP)<\/a> will serve as host of the CDRM from 2018 to 2025.<\/p>\n<p>The so-called natural disasters have caused more than seven trillion US dollars in economic damage and eight million deaths, since the start of the 20th century. Earthquakes, storms, volcanic eruptions, landslides and floods of diverse origin have hit humankind and its development infrastructure. Within this framework, engineering appears as a key set of disciplines using updated scientific knowledge to address the risk that such natural phenomena could become disastrous events.<\/p>\n<p>CDRM activities are developed to support the implementation of the global disaster risk reduction initiative, the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030 through engineering. Likewise, the CDRM will direct efforts to contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"heading-horizontal\" style=\"margin:30px 0 40px 0;\"><span>Vision
