Sinopse: As Australians see the growing potential for natural hazards to trigger devastating disasters, we rightfully expect that all sectors of society will work together to limit these impacts.
In 2011, for the first time in Australia, the Council of Australian Governments’ National Strategy for Disaster Resilience (NSDR) established a national resiliencebased approach to disaster management. Australia’s resilience to disaster impacts is critical to our continued wellbeing and prosperity. However, our capacity to be resilient to disasters diminishes as disaster risk, and potential impacts, grows.
In 2015, the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015 – 2030 (the Sendai Framework) was adopted by Australia and other members of the United Nations at the third UN World Conference on Disaster Risk Reduction. Through the Sendai Framework, countries around the world recognise the importance of not only managing disasters, but managing disaster risk.
