Vision Safer, more resilient Pacific Island
nations and communities, better prepared for to
cope with disasters of all types
Mission Building capacity of Pacific island
communities by accelerating the implementation of
disaster risk reduction and disaster management
policies, planning and programmes to address
current and emerging challenges through a)
development and strengthening of disaster risk
reduction and disaster management, including
mitigation, preparedness, response and relief/
recovery systems b) integration of disaster
risk reduction and disaster management into
national sustainable development planning and
decision-making processes at all levels and c)
strengthening partnerships between all
stakeholders in disaster risk reduction and
disaster management.

  Policy And Decision-making Frameworks
• Knowledge, Information, Public Awareness and
  Education
• Analysis and Evaluation of Hazards,
  Vulnerabilities and Elements at Risk
• Planning for effective Preparedness, Response and
  Recovery
• Effective, Integrated and People-Focused Early
  Warning Systems
• Reducing Underlying Risk Factors

5
Expected Outcomes by 2015

• Disaster risk reduction and disaster management
  mainstreamed into national policies, planning
  processes at all levels and across all sectors.
• CROP agency partnerships and national government
  coordinated, harmonised and strengthened to
  ensure country and outcome-focused delivery of
  services.
• Better informed and more resilient communities
• Improved knowledge of social, economic and
  environmental impacts of disasters in Pacific
  island nations and communities.
• Disaster risk reduction and disaster management
  training programmes institutionalised
• Accredited and recognised qualifications in
  disaster risk reduction and disaster management

6
Expected Outcomes by 2015

• G) Robust, effective national and regional
  monitoring and early warning systems established
  and strengthened for all hazards incorporating
  traditional knowledge and appropriate technology
  and tools.
• H) Community, national and regional warning
  systems integrated into the global network
  supporting early warning and vice-versa to
  improve safety and security to disasters.
• I) Emergency communication systems established
  and operating effectively
• J) Effective communication and awareness raising
  in place as part of these community-focused early
  warning systems.

Implementation Follow up
National Successful implementation of this
framework, is dependent on a) national
governments adapting and owning this Framework
through the mainstreaming of disaster risk
reduction and disaster management practices into
policies and programmes, and b) an effective
mechanism to coordinate, through a participatory
process, the development, implementation,
monitoring and reporting of a strategic national
action plan that reflects achievable short and
medium-term priorities.
8
Implementation Follow up
Regional The SOPAC Secretariat, which has the
mandate for the coordination of regional disaster
risk reduction and disaster management, will a)
actively promote the Framework and seek the
collaboration of key CROP agencies and other
regional partners in its implementation b)
support member countries to develop and implement
their strategic national action plans d)
coordinate the reporting on regional progress in
implementing the Framework e) advocate for
resources to support the successful
implementation of the Framework, and f)
coordinate a process of review and reporting on
the implementation of the Framework.
