Overview of the MCR2030 sign-up steps

A. Taking the stage assessment and preparing letter of commitment
1. Take the stage assessment to find out whether your city is at Stage A, B or C:

- Go to the MCR2030 website and take the stage assessment at https://mcr2030.undrr.org/resilience-roadmap/stage-assessment
- Simple questions, yes/no answers
- Upon completing the stage assessment, you will be directed to the result page
- Questions are available in many non-English languages
2. Download the letter of commitment template and have it signed by your mayor

- Only cities participated in the MCR Campaign (2010 to 2020) are not required to have the letter of commitment
- Cities certified with ISO37123 can use the ISO37123 certification in lieu of the letter of commitment.
B. Create the PreventionWeb Account
1. Decide who from your office will create the dashboard account for your city
- This can be anyone from your government office
