A/RES/69/283
Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015–2030
(c) To promote cooperation between academic, scientific and research
entities and networks and the private sector to develop new products and services to
help to reduce disaster risk, in particular those that would assist developing
countries and their specific challenges;
(d) To encourage the coordination between global and regional financial
institutions with a view to assessing and anticipating the potential economic and
social impacts of disasters;
(e) To enhance cooperation between health authorities and other relevant
stakeholders to strengthen country capacity for disaster risk management for health,
the implementation of the International Health Regulations (2005) and the building
of resilient health systems;
(f) To strengthen and promote collaboration and capacity-building for the
protection of productive assets, including livestock, working animals, tools and
seeds;
(g) To promote and support the development of social safety nets as disaster
risk reduction measures linked to and integrated with livelihood enhancement
programmes in order to ensure resilience to shocks at the household and community
levels;
(h) To strengthen and broaden international efforts aimed at eradicating
hunger and poverty through disaster risk reduction;
(i) To promote and support collaboration among relevant public and private
stakeholders to enhance the resilience of business to disasters.
Priority 4: Enhancing disaster preparedness for effective response and to “Build
Back Better” in recovery, rehabilitation and reconstruction
32. The steady growth of disaster risk, including the increase of people and assets
exposure, combined with the lessons learned from past disasters, indicates the need
to further strengthen disaster preparedness for response, take action in anticipation
of events, integrate disaster risk reduction in response preparedness and ensure that
capacities are in place for effective response and recovery at all levels. Empowering
women and persons with disabilities to publicly lead and promote gender equitable
and universally accessible response, recovery, rehabilitation and reconstruction
approaches is key. Disasters have demonstrated that the recovery, rehabilitation and
reconstruction phase, which needs to be prepared ahead of a disaster, is a critical
opportunity to “Build Back Better”, including through integrating disaster risk
reduction into development measures, making nations and communities resilient to
disasters.
National and local levels
33.
To achieve this, it is important:
(a) To prepare or review and periodically update disaster preparedness and
contingency policies, plans and programmes with the involvement of the relevant
institutions, considering climate change scenarios and their impact on disaster risk,
and facilitating, as appropriate, the participation of all sectors and relevant
stakeholders;
(b) To invest in, develop, maintain and strengthen people-centred multihazard, multisectoral forecasting and early warning systems, disaster risk and
emergency communications mechanisms, social technologies and hazard-monitoring
