The importance of institutional activities in Disaster Risk Management
National and local authorities, such as prefectures and regions led by governors, relevant ministries including agriculture, health and education, as well as public technical institutes like civil protection, meteorological and water services, also require support to enhance the protection of populations against multiple risks.
This support includes advocating for effective Disaster Risk Management (DRM) policies and ensuring compliance, strengthening institutional and staff capacities, providing systematic support for risk monitoring, early warning and communication, contingency planning, designing emergency response measures and implementing targeted operational protocols—all crucial for building and enhancing resilience.
