Towards sustainable development
 DRR has to be an integral part of any development
 Sustainable environmental and natural resource management
needs to be practiced
 Hospitals, schools and other critical public facilities need to be
built in a disaster resilient way
 Data necessary for adaptation to existing and future climate change
 Increasing people’s resilience to hazards
 Improvement of food security, social safety nets, diversified
income options,
 Insurance schemes for loss of lives, health, (partial) destruction of
houses, loss of agricultural production and loss of livestock
 Financial services for credits and savings
 Tap into potential of Private-Public Development Partnerships
