The Handbook on Law and Disaster Risk Reduction – Disaster Law

The Handbook and Checklist on Law and Disaster Risk Reduction (the Checklist) aim to support countries to identify the DRR-related strengths and gaps in their current legal frameworks, identify where greater focus may be needed on implementation and enforcement, and identify whether drafting or amending legislation is necessary. Additionally, it is expected that the process of convening a range of stakeholders in a common dialogue to respond to the Checklist questions will contribute to the improved implementation of a sound legal framework for DRR.
