Palestine: Disaster Risk Management Mechanism in Palestine

This document explains the disaster risk management mechanism in Palestine. The concept of disaster risk management involves preparing and planning to confront disasters to enhance readiness and mitigate their effects.

The expected risks in Palestine are identified based on historical records, the most frequent hazard statistics, and reports from civil defence operations in each governorate. These data are analysed to classify significant hazards, followed by risk mitigation, preparedness planning as a preventive measure, and response plans. All these actions are supervised and monitored by the General Directorate of Civil Defence.
