Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) refers to systematic efforts to analyze and reduce the causal factors of disasters. Over the last three decades, the international community has developed several key frameworks to shift from reactive disaster response to proactive risk management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Yokohama Strategy and Plan of Action (1994)<\/strong> marked the first global recognition that prevention, preparedness, and mitigation are more effective than post-disaster response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Building on this foundation, the Hyogo Framework for Action (2005\u20132015)<\/strong> introduced a structured approach to strengthening institutional capacity, early warning systems, and public awareness for disaster preparedness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The most comprehensive global framework to date is the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction (2015\u20132030)<\/strong>. It sets clear global targets to reduce disaster mortality, economic losses, and damage to critical infrastructure by integrating risk reduction into development planning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To support implementation, the United Nations established the UN Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR)<\/strong>. UNDRR facilitates global coordination, publishes the Global Assessment Report (GAR)<\/strong>, and convenes the Global Platform for DRR<\/strong> to track progress and share best practices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Together, these frameworks demonstrate a global consensus: disaster risks are not natural\u2014they are manageable. Effective DRR saves lives, protects development gains, and strengthens resilience worldwide.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) refers to systematic efforts to analyze and reduce the causal factors of disasters.
