or “build back better.”

PRIORITY ONE:UNDERSTAND
DISASTER RISK (Sendai, 2010)

FOUR PRIORTIES
1) Understand Disaster Risk
2) 2) Strengthen Disaster Risk
Governance to Manage Disaster
Risk
3) 3) Invest in Disaster Risk
Reduction for Resilience
4) Invest in Disaster Preparedness to
Enhance Response
THE GOAL: DISASTER RISK
MANAGEMENT
