Abstract
Technologies have evolved over years in terms of their contents, usage, target groups and innovations. Over the last 30 years, different technologies at different phases of the disaster have been evolved, used and evaluated. We argue here that the technology includes both product and process and emphasizes the importance of the definition of (Kameda, Disaster management: global challenges and local solutions, University Press, Chennai, India, 2009). Technology needs an enabling environment, which needs governance support with techno-legal provision. There exist global and national mechanisms for enhancing governance. However, the key need is at the local level, where additional initiatives/efforts are required for technology-based decision-making, and as well as local ecosystem to promote technology and innovation in DRR. Innovation in technology development needs youth involvement, where multi-stakeholders, multi-disciplinary youth groups can interact, co-design and make co-delivery of the new innovations.
