SUMMARY:International Day for Disaster Risk Reduction
DESCRIPTION:The United Nations General Assembly has designated October 13th as the International Day for Disaster Risk Reduction to promote a global culture of disaster risk reduction. It is an opportunity to acknowledge the progress being made toward reducing disaster risk and losses in lives\, livelihoods and health in line with the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030.\n\n\n\nIn 2016\, the UN Secretary-General launched "The Sendai Seven Campaign" to promote each of the seven targets over seven years. The 2020 target is Target E: "Substantially increase the number of countries with national and local disaster risk reduction strategies by 2020" which lays the foundation for the implementation of the Sendai Framework and is closely linked with Priority for Action 2: "Strengthening disaster risk governance to manage disaster risk."\n\n\n\nIn keeping with the Day's focus on the impact that disasters have on people's lives and well-being\, this year's theme is about conveying the message that many disasters can be avoided or prevented if there are disaster risk reduction strategies in place to manage and reduce existing levels of risk and to avoid the creation of new risk. What that amounts to is "good disaster risk governance."\n\n#ItsAllAboutGovernance #DRRday
