ØThe Plan of Action is divided into 5 sections
• The Preamble
• Towards Disaster Risk Reduction
• Towards Sustainable Development
• Finance and Resources
• The Way Forward
ØTwo thematic areas are divided to showcase work to be done at the
• Regional and Subregional Level
• National Level

ØA Ministerial Conference was proposed to be organized in 2015 to evaluate progress made and provide further guidance for the successful implementation of the Plan of Action and to build stronger political support and ownership among all stakeholders.
ØThe secretariat has been given huge mandate to harmonize and enhance existing regional initiatives and pool expertise and resources at regional and subregional levels; act as a clearing house for good practices and lessons; and take the lead at the regional level in implementing the Plan of Action.

ESCAP initiative: Improving disaster risk preparedness in the ESCAP region
Ø ESCAP has embarked on a UNDA project entitled “Improving disaster risk preparedness in the ESCAP region”.
Ø The project aims to support the establish and use geo-reference/geospatial information at natinoal level and strengthen the capacity of governments (disaster management authorities) in Asia-Pacific region (LDCs, LLDCs, SIDS, and some high risk developingcountries), in the implementation of the HFA through the use of geo-referenced/geospatial information tools for disaster risk preparedness, and timely early recovery.
Ø Enhance the capacity of ESCAP member states towards managing thedisaster risks more efficiently and effectively, and reduce losses, and build resilience to hazards through the use/sharing of standardized geo-spatial information among and within the countries.

On-going Activities
Ø Prototype of the national geo-DRM portals for Mongolia, Cook Islands and other countries.
Ø Linkage with regional level network (Asia-pacific Gateway for DRM) and Community of Practice (COP) .
Ø Dialogue with sub-regional organizations (SAARC DMC, ASEAN AHA, SOPAC), to develop geo-DRM portal based on existing knowledge networks.
Ø Capacity development activities: Awareness building workshop for countries in subregions;
Ø In-depth training for selected countries including for those countries where geo-DRM portals will be established;
