Building Urban Resilience Through Disaster Risk Reduction in Asia and Pasific: Priorities, good Practices and lesson learnt

---

Rapid urbanization and development goes along with increasing disaster risks. Governments in Asia and
the Pacific face continued challenges towards sustainable development at the same time reducing the risks
from future disasters. In 2010, governments in Asia and the Pacific together with other countries in the world
have adopted the Hyogo Framework for Action 2010-2015 (HFA). The HFA served as a guide for the countries
towards building resilient nations by disaster risk reduction (DRR). It has brought about significant shift from
mere response strategies to ORR. HFA expired in 2015 and is continued through the recent adoption the Sendai
Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030 (Sendai Framework for DRR), which aims to achieve substantial
reduction of disaster risk and losses in lives, livelihoods and health and in the economic, physical, social, cultural
and environmental assets of persons, businesses, communities and countries.
The need to integrate efforts towards sustainable development goals, climate change adaptation ad disaster
risk management has been recognized. And to do this, the term resilience is important. Resilience is the"ability
of a system, community, or society exposed to hazards to resist, absorb, accommodate to and recover from the
effects of hazards promptly and efficiently by preserving and restoring essential basic structures''. And building or
reinforcing resilience implies the development of unified tools supporting greater coherence and coordination
among different approaches. Addressing disaster risks in the context of resilience encourages urban planners
to look at the many impacts of disasters and build long term capacity of communities to both adapt and cope
with uncertain risks. The goal is for communities to prepare for an earthquake as much as they prepare for a
drought or flooding.
