UNISDR

UN Office for Disaster Risk reduction

The UN General Assembly adopted the International Strategy for Disaster Reduction in December 1999 and established UNISDR, the secretariat to ensure its implementation. UNISDR, the UN office for disaster risk reduction, is also the focal point in the UN system for the coordination of disaster risk reduction and the implementation of the international blueprint for disaster risk reduction – the “Hyogo Framework for Action 2005-2015: Building the resilience of nations and communities to disasters”.
