Knowledge sharing in interdisciplinary disaster risk management initiatives: cocreation insights and experience from New Zealand

Decision making in complex contexts such as disaster risk management requires collaborative approaches to knowledge production. Evidence-based disaster risk management and pre-event planning relies on robust and relevant disaster risk knowledge. We report on a case study of Project AF8, a "cocr...
