Hyogo Framework
The Hyogo Framework is a global agreement established in 2005 during the World Conference on Disaster Reduction in Kobe, Japan. Its primary goal is to enhance disaster risk reduction and improve resilience against natural hazards. The framework emphasizes the importance of understanding risks, strengthening preparedness, and promoting effective response strategies.
The framework outlines five key priorities for action, including governance, risk assessment, and education. It encourages countries to develop national and local disaster risk reduction strategies, fostering collaboration among governments, communities, and organizations. The Hyogo Framework aims to create safer environments and reduce the impact of disasters on vulnerable populations.
