Résumé

This Act lays down provisions to: (I) develop, promote and implement a holistic, comprehensive, integrated, and proactive approach to disaster risk management that (a) lessens the socio-economic and environmental impacts of disasters including climate change and (b) focuses on reducing risk, including the risk of loss of life, health, physical integrity, economic disruption and damage to the environment and property, especially to those members of population who are most vulnerable by reason of age, disability, poverty, lack of resources, physical displacement or gender; and (II) promote the involvement and participation of all relevant sectors and stakeholders, at all levels of the society. Parts II and III of this Act provides for the principles, planning, financing, and administration of the National Disaster Risk Management Policy and the establishment of a National Disaster Emergency Operations Centre, National Disaster Risk Information System, National Network of Hazard Monitoring Forecasting Systems, National Early Warning System, Disaster Emergency Fund, Disaster Prevention Fund, and the National Humanitarian Assistance Standards. The National Humanitarian Assistance Standards shall provide the minimum standard in relation to the supply of water supply; the promotion of sanitation and hygiene; food security and nutrition; shelter and settlement; and health. Part IV sets out provisions on the composition and functions of the Inter-Ministerial Committee on Disaster Risk Management.
