Javier González Disaster Economist

Javier E González Müller Economist specialising in disaster risk management

Javier E. González Müller is a specialist in Disaster Risk Management (DRM) with extensive experience supporting governments and institutions in strengthening resilience and risk governance frameworks. His work spans a broad range of thematic areas, including the development of capital city recovery frameworks, diagnostic assessments to inform local risk management planning, and facility assessments from a DRM perspective.

Javier has led and contributed to diagnostic studies that support municipalities in structuring and implementing local DRM strategies tailored to their specific vulnerabilities and capacities. His work often involves analysing institutional arrangements, legal and policy frameworks, and operational capacities to improve preparedness, response, and recovery systems.

He has also played a key role in designing and delivering training programmes for local governments, focusing on practical DRM approaches that enhance institutional knowledge, stakeholder coordination, and long-term risk reduction planning. His ability to translate technical risk insights into actionable strategies has made him a valuable advisor to public sector clients and international organisations alike.

With a deep understanding of both policy-level frameworks and field-level implementation challenges, Javier brings a balanced and context-sensitive approach to resilience-building efforts. His contributions support the integration of disaster risk considerations across development planning, infrastructure resilience, and emergency management systems.
