DRR activities
Policies and Programmes in DRR

ADB’s work in disaster risk management is guided by its Disaster and Emergency Assistance Policy (DEAP, 2004), which establishes a series of objectives focusing on:
• strengthening support for reducing disaster risk in developing member countries;
•providing rehabilitation and reconstruction assistance following disasters; and
•leveraging ADB’s activities by developing partnerships.

The Disaster and Emergency Assistance Policy is being implemented through an integrated disaster risk management (IDRM) approach that bring together the elements of disaster risk reduction (DRR), climate change adaptation (CCA), and disaster risk financing (DRF) within an overarching context of resilience.
