Amongst our curated highlights this weeks we have news from Fiji – where the national broadcaster has handed its Resilience Action Plan (a regional first!) to UNDRR's head, Kamal Kishore; from the Philippines – where Plan Internationalregional is gathering gender-inclusive data to better understand, and reduce, the risks faced by women; and from the cybersphere – where a new virtual reality storm simulator (which you can download for free!) is helping players prepare for extreme weather. We also have reports showing the gendered impacts of extreme heat in South Sudan, water-related disaster risks for cities; and the challenges of coastal flooding in Asia's river deltas.
