Process of Developing National Strategy for Natural Disaster Prevention Response

and Mitigation until 2020

- Strategy for water-related disaster mitigation (1994)

- Research on 12 special subjects of disaster (1999)

- Draft of Strategy for Natural Disaster Reduction (2002)

- National Strategy for Natural Disaster Prevention, Response and Mitigation until 2020 (2007)

Prevention activities included: preparedness, response and alleviation of consequences. Among them, preparedness is very important

Strategy for Natural disaster prevention, response and mitigation was develop based on the guideline that the Government and community work together

Combine inherited traditional experience with modern technologies and knowledge

View points to develop Strategy for Natural Disaster Prevention,

Response and Mitigation

FOR ITW

ONLY

Enhance forecasting and warning capacity

Complete legal documents

Modernize information system

Consolidate governmental apparatus

Enhance search and rescue capacity

Standardize to build suitable structures

Develop and complete legal framework

Complete the 4 “at-the-spot” mottoes

Non-Structure Measures

Integrate National Strategy for disaster preparedness, response and mitigation into socio-economic development programs in each region and sector.

Improve public awareness

Promote investment, baseline survey, science research activities

Implement socialization policies along with natural disaster prevention, response and mitigation

Promote international integration activities

Non-Structure Measures (cont.,)

FOR ITW

ONLY

Build and upgrade water-reservoir system in up-stream areas

Upgrade dyke system, flood retardation and division structures

Enhance social- economic infrastructure

Complete shelter places
