    This document is the eighth in a series of special topics for consideration, as part of the Words into Action Guidelines on National Disaster Risk Assessment published by UNISDR. This section provides a general introduction for the use of crowdsourcing as an approach to gathering information for risk assessment, which has benefits not only for gathering data at a large scale, but also in educating participants on risks in their area as they gather information.
