What is ISO 22392 about?
ISO 22392 is an international standard on security and resilience that provides guidelines for conducting peer reviews.
ISO 22392 gives guidelines for organizations to design, organize, conduct, receive feedback from and learn from a peer review of their disaster risk reduction (DRR) policies and practices. ISO 22392 is also applicable to other community resilience activities. ISO 22392 is intended for use by organizations with the responsibility for, or involvement in, managing such activities including policy and preparedness, response, and recovery operations, and designing preventative measures (e.g., for the effects of environmental changes such as those from climate change).
Who is ISO 22392 for?
ISO 22392 on guidelines for conducting peer reviews is useful for:
- Internal and external auditors of the organization
- Management board members
- Government officials
Why should you use ISO 22392?
A peer review to enhance community resilience is a unique and privileged opportunity for a host country, region, city, or community to engage in a constructive process to reflect on its activities with a team of independent professionals, e.g., on disaster reduction (DRR).
ISO 22392 provides you with guidelines to encourage conversations, promote the exchange of good practice, and examine the performance of the entity being reviewed to enhance mutual learning and so can be of value to those who seek to further develop their practices.
The guidelines provided by ISO 22392 can also contribute to enhancing resilience and problematic reduction.
