Sendai Framework of actions: 7 global targets
for 2015 - 2030
Substantially reduce global disaster mortality
(aiming to lower average per 100,000 global mortality between 2020-2030 compared to 2005-2015)

Substantially reduce the number of affected people globally
aiming to lower the average global figure per 100,000 between 2020-2030 compared to 2005-2015.

Reduce direct disaster economic loss in relation to GDP

Substantially reduce disaster damage to critical infrastructure
and disruption of basic services (among them health and educational facilities, including through developing their resilience by 2030)

Substantially increase the number of countries with national / local DRR strategies
by 2020.

Substantially enhance international cooperation to developing countries through
adequate and sustainable support to complement their national actions for implementation of this framework by 2030.

Substantially increase the availability /access to multi-hazard early warning systems
and disaster risk information and assessments to the people by 2030.

SFA: new paradigm

Paradigm shift in national or local agencies (as NMHS), in:

1. Advancing from the current status as providers of forecasts and early
   warnings to providers of:
       impact‐based forecasts and risk‐informed warnings

2. Assuming active roles in all aspects of disaster risk management to
better support national disaster management agencies and local
communities in reducing disaster risk

3. Providing better risk‐based decision support services.

SFA: putting principles into practise

1.   On which level is prevention – warning – response undertaken?
2.   How do these levels interact?
3.   Top down vs bottom up?
4.   How to reach the local level?
