(m) To strengthen the capacity of local authorities to evacuate persons living
in disaster-prone areas;
(n) To establish a mechanism of case registry and a database of mortality

To achieve this, it is important:

approaches and operational mechanisms to prepare for and ensure rapid and
effective disaster response in situations that exceed national coping capacities;
(b) To promote the further development and dissemination of instruments,
such as standards, codes, operational guides and other guidance instruments, to
support coordinated action in disaster preparedness and response and facilitate
information sharing on lessons learned and best practices for policy practice and
post-disaster reconstruction programmes;
(c) To promote the further development of and investment in effective,
nationally compatible, regional multi-hazard early warning mechanisms, where
relevant, in line with the Global Framework for Climate Services, and facilitate the
sharing and exchange of information across all countries;
(d) To enhance international mechanisms, such as the International Recovery
Platform, for the sharing of experience and learning among countries and all
relevant stakeholders;
(e) To support, as appropriate, the efforts of relevant United Nations entities
to strengthen and implement global mechanisms on hydrometeorological issues in
order to raise awareness and improve understanding of water-related disaster risks
and their impact on society, and advance strategies for disaster risk reduction upon
the request of States;
(f) To support regional cooperation to deal with disaster preparedness,
including through common exercises and drills;
(g) To promote regional protocols to facilitate the sharing of response
capacities and resources during and after disasters;
(h)
V.
To train the existing workforce and volunteers in disaster response.
Role of stakeholders
35. While States have the overall responsibility for reducing disaster risk, it is a
shared responsibility between Governments and relevant stakeholders. In particular,
non-State stakeholders play an important role as enablers in providing support to
States, in accordance with national policies, laws and regulations, in the
implementation of the present Framework at local, national, regional and global
levels. Their commitment, goodwill, knowledge, experience and resources will be
required.
