By Open Contracting Partnership, CivicDataLab

The Intelligent Data Solution for Disaster Risk Reduction (IDS-DRR) is an open-source platform for India that helps disaster management authorities to make timely data-driven decisions, prioritize expenditure of public funds and conduct public procurement in a manner that strengthens long-term disaster risk reduction and protects the most vulnerable people from the adverse effects of extreme weather events.  

In this guide, we offer six common questions you can answer with IDS-DRR to make decisions and allocate resources to districts to prepare or respond to floods. It will also guide you on how to find the information you need using https://drr.open-contracting.in.
