  1. Ensuring that disaster risk reduction is a national and local priority with a strong institutional basis for implementation requires building institutional capacity through the development of policy, legislative and institutional frameworks;
  2. Identifying, assessing and monitoring disaster risks and enhancing early warning requires developing scientific, technological and technical capacities to observe, analyse and forecast disasters, and institutional capacities to integrate early warning systems into local- and national-level processes and systems;
  3. Using knowledge, innovation and education to build a culture of safety and resilience at all levels requires supporting and building technical capacity to assess impact and vulnerability, improve monitoring and evaluation, and promote community-based education.
