Process of Developing National Strategy for Natural Disaster Prevention Response
and Mitigation until 2020
- Strategy for water-related disaster mitigation (1994)
- Research on 12 special subjects of disaster (1999)
- Draft of Strategy for Natural Disaster Reduction (2002)
- National Strategy for Natural Disaster Prevention, Response and Mitigation until 2020 (2007)
Prevention activities included: preparedness, response and alleviation of consequences. Among them, preparedness is very important
Strategy for Natural disaster prevention, response and mitigation was develop based on the guideline that the Government and community work together
Combine inherited traditional experience with modern technologies and knowledge
