A/RES/69/15 SIDS Accelerated Modalities of Action (SAMOA) Pathway conduct technical studies and gather information on grid stability and management, including maximizing the integration of renewable energy and innovative storage mechanisms; (h) To work on an integrated approach to establishing and strengthening innovative energy road maps in small island developing States, with detailed resource planning, which takes into account social, environmental and economic considerations, as well as access to energy for the poor and people in remote areas. Disaster risk reduction 51. We recognize that small island developing States continue to grapple with the effects of disasters, some of which have increased in intensity and some of which have been exacerbated by climate change, which impede their progress towards sustainable development. We also recognize that disasters can disproportionately affect small island developing States and that there is a critical need to build resilience, strengthen monitoring and prevention, reduce vulnerability, raise awareness and increase preparedness to respond to and recover from disasters. 52. In consideration of the special case of small island developing States and their unique and particular vulnerabilities, we are committed to supporting their efforts: (a) To gain access to technical assistance and financing for early warning systems, disaster risk reduction and post-disaster response and recovery, risk assessment and data, land use and planning, observation equipment, disaster preparedness and recovery education programmes, including under the Global Framework for Climate Services, and disaster risk management; (b) To promote cooperation and investment in disaster risk management in the public and private sectors; (c) To strengthen and support contingency planning and provisions for disaster preparedness and response, emergency relief and population evacuation, in particular for people in vulnerable situations, women and girls, displaced persons, children, older persons and persons with disabilities; (d) To implement the Hyogo Framework for Action 23 and work for an ambitious renewed international framework for post-2015 disaster risk reduction that builds on previous achievements, prioritizes prevention and mitigation and incorporates implementation frameworks to address implementation gaps if and when they exist; (e) To mainstream policies and programmes related to disaster risk reduction, climate change adaptation and development, as appropriate; (f) To harmonize national and regional reporting systems, where applicable, to increase synergies and coherence; (g) To establish and strengthen risk insurance facilities at the national and regional levels and place disaster risk management and building resilience at the centre of policies and strategies, where applicable; (h) To increase participation in international and regional disaster risk reduction initiatives. _______________ 23 Hyogo Framework for Action 2005–2015: Building the Resilience of Nations and Communities to Disasters (A/CONF.206/6 and Corr.1, chap.
