Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of

Introduction
Over the last decade, global communities have made great progress towards reducing disaster risk
through strengthening resilience against natural hazards. However, in addition to geological hazards,
ongoing climate changes can exacerbate existing hydrometeorological hazard risks by increasing the
frequency and intensity of these hazards, in either unprecedented combinations and/or unexpected
locations. As a result, more communities and assets can be exposed to these hazards, leading to greater
damage by disasters.
In order to protect communities against natural hazard risks, infrastructures can play a key role in
strengthening resilience. Critical infrastructures that communities rely on, such as energy, information
and communication technologies (ICT), transportation, waste and water, and other infrastructures
affect vital community functions such as livelihoods, medical activities, financial services. This results
in an increasing cost of disasters for all sectors of the community whether it is governments, businesses,
and individuals. These costs include not only direct costs but also indirect ones such as costs from flow-
on effects from disasters. Through the implementation of infrastructure that can strengthen resilience,
communities can recover from the impacts of disasters quickly and effectively.
The demand for smart community infrastructures, as scalable and integrable products, will continue
to grow in the decades ahead. However, it is imperative that such infrastructures can also be designed
in a way that reduces disaster risk and strengthens disaster resilience. Through an analysis of
existing documents on smart community infrastructure for disaster risk reduction and a survey of
global examples, this document is intended to identify existing gaps in the implementation of smart
community infrastructure for disaster risk reduction, and to identify topics for potential areas in
the standardization of smart community infrastructures for disaster risk reduction. Through the
accumulation of global best practices, this document identifies areas for potential standardization,
which includes but is not limited to, the strengthening of disaster risk reduction technologies utilized in
critical infrastructures such as energy, waste and water, transportation, ICT, and the built environment.
This document seeks to provide the foundation for future standardization deliverables which promote
the interoperability of disaster risk reduction technologies globally.
