” Over the last two decades, most community based efforts have been confined to disaster preparedness and contingency planning for the short term.
We need to expand the scope of community based efforts and support communities to identify local risk reduction measures and implement them.
Such efforts reduce risk and create opportunities for local development and sustainable livelihoods. Localization of disaster risk reducation will also ensure that we make the most of traditional best practices and indigenous knowledge.
“
-Prime Minister
