Disaster Risk Reduction
• Main gaps, needs and further steps to be addressed in the
Post 2015 Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction:
– Policy: It is important to continue to focus on prevention, but we
should also seek to build up resilience and robust communities
through improved awareness and preparedness for technological
accidents at the local level. Initiatives like the UNEP APELL must be
considered as an important process to help local community to
understand the risks, communicate the risks to the public, build a
robust culture of safety in the society as a whole and through
cooperation with industry and other stakeholders.
