Disaster Risk Reduction. Disaster risk reduction — addressing vulnerabilities to, and preparation for, anticipated and recurring natural hazards — requires sound awareness and advocacy within the government, external development partners, civil society and the general public. The Implementer is encouraged to promote disaster resilience and continually seek creative opportunities for incorporating disaster risk reduction into program activities. This includes such activities as awareness raising and advocacy for emergency preparedness and disaster risk reduction within the Government of Nepal. The Implementer is expected to ensure that project training where appropriate and as directed includes appropriate emergency preparedness and disaster risk reduction elements.
