Zambia national disaster risk management framework 2017-2030
Zambia is exposed to a variety of hazards which, when combined with vulnerability, can lead to disasters. The major hazards the country experiences include drought, floods, pest infestations, epidemics (both human and animal), hail storms and landslides. Further, it experiences manmade hazards such as fires, transport and industrial accidents.
The National Disaster Risk Management Framework aims to build on the Sendai framework and others in order to facilitate the identification of priority areas which must be integrated into the national development planning processes.
