Abstract

This article presents the process followed by UN-SPIDER when contributing to the uptake of scientific results by technical staff in government agencies and people in communities at risk. The article suggests the chain of four types of actors to describe the process by which scientific outputs are incorporated by end-users in the topic of disaster management. It makes reference to scientific liaisons as those actors that facilitate the uptake of scientific results by transforming such results into more usable products. In addition, it outlines the role of technical staff in government agencies who take scientific results and products to generate relevant policies, norms and regulations that should be used by those at risk to minimize the potential impact of natural or technological hazards based on the notions of risks.
