1.1 Background
This new Palau National Disaster Risk Management Framework 2010 (hereinafter referred to as the ‘PNDRMF’ or ‘Framework’) provides for the strengthening of national disaster risk management structures and mechanisms to support improved disaster/emergency preparedness, response and recovery as well as the more effective integration of disaster risk considerations into the national development planning, including budgetary allocation processes.
A review of the 1999 National Disaster Plan (NDP) provided the foundation for the new Framework.
