The Sendai Framework

The Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction is a global agreement aimed at reducing disaster risks and building resilience to disasters by promoting preparedness, response, recovery, and prevention. Adopted in 2015 in Japan, it emphasizes the importance of understanding disaster risks, enhancing early warning systems, and involving communities in planning and decision-making. The framework promotes a comprehensive approach to disaster management, encouraging governments, organizations, and individuals to work together to minimize the impact of disasters on society, the economy, and the environment over a 15-year period.
