| Terry Jeggle has been engaged in international development, disaster management and hazard and risk management responsibilities for 38 years, working at different times with NGOs, professional training institutions, United Nations programmes, and in professional advisory roles.
His experience includes emergency operations management with the NGO CARE in overseas assignments; training and policy-related advisory services related to disaster and risk management at the Asian Disaster Preparedness Center; and promotion of multidisciplinary and intersectoral policies, professional and institutional relationships related to hazard awareness and disaster risk reduction activities.
He is currently a Sr. Advisor to the UN ISDR Secretariat, primarily involved with information exchange and capacity development in areas of national policy, professional and national institutional formation and related education/training initiatives for disaster and risk management. Drawing on professional contacts in more than 80 countries, much of his current work with the joint efforts of ISDR, UNDP and OCHA in the Capacity for Disaster Reduction Initiative (CADRI) revolves around curriculum development and the promotion of broader organizational and multi-disciplinary networks to engage professional collaborators from around the world.
In 2005 he coordinated the 10-year retrospective review process of the Yokohama Strategy and Plan of Action for the World Conference on Disaster Reduction in Kobe. He also wrote major portions and was the content editor for the UN/ISDR publication, Living With Risk: A Global Review of Disaster Reduction Initiatives, (UN, 2004). He later developed the concept and edited a compendium of international experience in disaster reduction, Know Risk (Tudor Rose/UN, 2005), another UN publication.
