Goal
“Prevent new and reduce existing disaster risk
through the implementation of integrated and
inclusive economic, structural, legal, social, health,
cultural, educational, environmental, technological,
political and institutional measures that prevent
and reduce hazard exposure and vulnerability to
disaster, increase preparedness for response and
recovery, and thus strengthen resilience”
– paragraph 17
• Shift from disaster management to disaster risk management.
• Shift from "what to do" to "how to do "
• Focus on people-centred preventive approach to DRR
• Primary responsibility of States for DRR but shared responsibility of all-of-society
for DRR
• Recognition of the importance of well-functioning health systems.
• A strong call for strengthening the use of science and technology in policy-
making.
• A strong call for the mobilization of investment.
• Strengthened Global Platform, regional platforms and national platforms.

ACTION PLAN ► Process
Purpose: Enhance and promote disaster risk management and its integration in EU policies
Maps EU policies against 4 Sendai priorities
Based on inter-service participation: AGRI, CLIMA, DEVCO, ENV, FPI, GROW, HOME, JRC, NEAR, EAC, REGIO, RTD, SANTE, SG, SJ, EEAS

ACTION PLAN ► Guiding elements
4 KEY AREAS
(1) Build RISK KNOWLEDGE in EU policies
(2) An ALL-OF-SOCIETY approachin disaster risk management
(3) Promote EU RISK INFORMED INVESTMENTS
(4) Support the development of a HOLISTIC DISASTER RISK MANAGEMENT approach
21 PRIORITIES
For example:
1.3 Engage with the research community to address DRM knowledge and technology gaps
2.4 …explore educational measures for reducing disaster risks
3.12 Promote risk-informed investments in all EU external financial instruments
4.19 Facilitate capacity buildingof local & national authorities and communities in managing disaster risk
51 ACTIVITIES
For example:
1.3.2 Strengthen the role of the EC Disaster Risk Management Knowledge Centre (DRMKC)
2.4.1 Support projects integrating DRR in educational systems in emergencies & conflict situations
3.12.1 Explore the development of Multi-Hazard Risk Assessment and Analysis Guidelines for DRM mainstreaming in development cooperation programs
19.2 Support community capacity-building of at least 100 organisations in partner countries through the EUAV Programme
ACTION PLAN ► Structure
Key Area 1 – Building riskknowledge in all EU Policies
• 1- Risk assessment
• 2- Disaster loss data
• 3- Index for Risk Management INFORM

3-Climate Resilient Development
EU peer review programme
• Improving disaster risk management throughmutual learning
• Linking disaster response, preparedness andprevention policies and fostering a policydialogue
• Raising awareness and visibility of disasterrisk management
Peer review programme 2015-2016
• Building on successful pilot reviews
• Four types of reviews: general disaster risk management; risk assessment; risk management capability; and preparedness strategies.
• UNISDR, OECD associated
Reviewed countries
• Pilot review
• Countries
• (UK, FI)
• 2015-2016 programme

Key area 2- An all of society approach in DRM
Action Areas (AA) for initial work on loss and damage
AA1: Particularly vulnerable developing countries, populations, ecosystems
AA2: Comprehensive risk management approaches
AA3: Slow onset events
AA4: Non-economic losses
AA5: Resilience, recovery and rehabilitation
AA6: Migration, displacement and human mobility
AA7: Financial instruments and tools
AA8: Complement, draw upon the work of and involve other bodies
AA9: Development of a 5-year rolling workplan
The 2-year workplan of the Executive Committee (2015–16) provides for:

Key Area 3 – Promoting EU Risk-informed investments
Cohesion policy support to disaster risk prevention (1/2)
• Renewed investment opportunities for 2014-2020• EUR 8 billion to climate change adaptation and risk prevention
• Protecting 13.3 million people from floods and 11.8 million from forest fires
• More opportunities in other areas (incl. innovation, water management… )
• Beyond funding• Integrated regional development
• Technical assistance and administrative capacity-building
• Support for cross-border, interregional and transnational cooperation
• New opportunities for cities• Urban Agenda for the EU
• Urban Innovative Actions
• Preconditions for funding• National or regional risk
assessments for disaster management, taking into account climate change adaptation
• Ensuring strategic framework for an effective and efficient use of EU funds
• Follow-up needed by end 2016 to avoid suspension of payments
• How to get support?• Find out about programmes and
get in touch with Managing Authorities through ec.europa.eu/regional_policy
Cohesion policy support to disaster risk prevention (2/2)
Key Area 4– Developing an holisticrisk management approach
EUAid Volunteers
Key Area 4-developing an holistic risk management approach
What is EUAV?
• An opportunity for well trained and well prepared junior and senior humanitarian volunteers from the EU to help local communities in third countries
• Based on concrete humanitarian needs and gaps identified jointly by sending organisations in EU Member States and hosting organisations in non EU countries
• Providing technical assistance and capacity building for humanitarian organisations themselves – both sending and hosting - strengthening the system
Why EU Aid Volunteers?
• Solidarity - responding to the requests of EU citizens to support those most in need in the world
• Increasing number of natural and man-made disasters - more efforts needed to prevent hazards becoming disasters
• Need for more trained and well prepared people to support local organisations and communities
• Support for improvements in the humanitarian
sector –a stronger more robust system
