Disaster risk reduction

We recognize that the international community has accumulated much experience with disaster risk reduction through the International Decade for Natural Disaster Reduction and the succeeding International Strategy for Disaster Reduction.

Noting the critical role played by local resources, and by existing in country capacities, in natural disaster management and risk reduction, disaster response, rehabilitation and development,

It demonstrates once again our vulnerability to natural phenomena and reminds us that we must incorporate disaster prevention and disaster risk reduction into our development policies.

Disaster risk mitigation and preparedness are integral to the planning of human settlements in countries prone to natural disasters.

For instance, the term natural disaster seems less precise than disaster caused by natural phenomena .

7. Stresses that, in order to reduce vulnerability to natural hazards, risk assessments should be integrated into disaster risk reduction programmes at national and local levels

Countries affected by natural disaster.

Greater awareness in respect of natural disaster risk management planning and capacity building at the national level will be crucial.

(iii) Including natural disaster risk mitigation, early warning, preparedness and post disaster considerations and related capacity building measures in human settlements planning and development, including at regional level

Some progress is being made towards overcoming vulnerability to natural hazards by integrating disaster reduction measures into development strategies. Those efforts involve linking climate change adaptation and disaster risk reduction, as well as ensuring that implementation of the Millennium Development Goals supports disaster risk reduction.

Such a system would enable countries at risk to exchange information on disaster forecasts and to undertake a joint response to natural disasters.

Thirdly, with regard to natural disaster situations, we understand that the Protocol will be applicable only in instances where there is exceptional risk.
