The Red Cross Red Crescent and the Hyogo Framework for Action: focus on the Asia-Pacific region
The International Federation has created a Framework for community safety and resilience. This document, focused on the Asia-Pacific region, supports these actions. Its aim is to support National Societies in the promotion and implementation of a holistic, integrated approach developed with and for communities in response to the multiple hazards they face (including those worsened by climate change) and incorporating health, environmental risks, and economic and social issues.
The framework consolidates work undertaken to date to reduce underlying vulnerabilities to disasters aspart of the Red Cross Red Crescent’s commitments under the HFA.
