This paper presents a mid-term review of the Pacific Regional disaster risk management (DRM) Framework for Action (RFA). It provides information about: (i) the extent to which the RFA and the Hyogo Framework for Action have progressed so far; (ii) the obstacles/successes to implementation; emerging issues that need to be incorporated to achieve a sustainable reduction in disaster losses; and (iii) what should be the focus of international, regional and national action in DRM beyond 2015. It is based on two rounds of consultations: (i) a preliminary one covering the views of regional partners; and (ii) another one covering responses and views of representatives of Pacific island countries and territories conducted during the Pacific Platform meeting.
The Fourth Session of the Global Platform for Disaster Risk Reduction will take place in Geneva, Switzerland in May 2013.
