Australia: National disaster risk reduction framework 2019

This framework is designed to guide Australia’s efforts to reduce disaster risk associated with natural hazards. It translates the first three Sendai Framework priorities into action for the Australian context; though the strategies outlined in this framework are applicable to disaster preparedness and recovery efforts, the fourth priority of the Sendai Framework is largely progressed through other national strategies, primarily the Australian Disaster Preparedness Framework. The framework establishes a 2030 vision, goals and priorities broadly aligned to the Sendai Framework and the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals, and outlines foundational strategies for action to meet these across the five years from 2019 – 2023. The framework will be reviewed and updated at the end of this five-year period to ensure its relevance and accuracy across the remaining years to 2030.
