Abstract

The Myanmar Action Plan on Disaster Risk Reduction lays out the path that must be followed to make the country disaster resilient. It covers both natural hazards and man-made disasters and will be implemented through a people-centered and inclusive approach focusing on managing risks rather than managing disasters. The MAPDRR includes prioritized interventions until 2020 together with a long-term Vision to be implemented by 2030. The Vision aims to protect lives, economy, heritage and environment, through an inclusive approach towards sustainable development in Myanmar.
