  text: Natural disasters, including earthquakes, Tsunamis, floods, hurricanes, and
    volcanic eruptions, have caused tremendous harm and continue to threaten millions
    of humans and various infrastructure capabilities each year. In their efforts
    to take countermeasures against the threats posed by future natural disasters,
    the United Nations formulated the ?Hyogo Framework for Action?, which aims at
    assessing and reducing risk. This framework and a global review of disaster reduction
    initiatives of the United Nations acknowledge the need for information systems
    research contributions in addressing major challenges of natural disaster management.
    In this paper, we provide a review of the literature with regard to how information
    systems research has addressed risk assessment and reduction in natural disaster
    management. Based on the review we identify research gaps that are centered around
    the need for acquiring general knowledge on how to design IS artifacts for risk
    assessment and reduction. In order to close these gaps in further research, we
    develop a research agenda that follows the IS design science paradigm.
