| 24(e) | Make nonsensitive hazard exposure, vulnerability, risk, disasters, and loss disaggregated information freely available and accessible, as appropriate. | |
| 24(f) | Promote real-time access to reliable data, make use of space and in situ information, including geographic information systems (GIS), and use information and communications technology innovations to enhance measurement tools and the collection, analysis, and dissemination of data. | |
| 24(h) | Promote and improve dialog and cooperation among scientists and technological communities, other relevant stakeholders, and policy makers to facilitate a science–policy interface of effective decision making in disaster management. | |
| 24(j) | Strengthen scientific and technological capacities to develop and apply methodologies and models to assess disaster risks. Improve science–policy interface for effective decision making in disaster risk management. | |
| 24(o) | Enhance collaboration among people at the local level to disseminate disaster risk information through the involvement of community-based organizations and nongovernmental organizations. | |
| Strengthening disaster risk governance to manage disaster | 28(b) | Adopt and implement national and local disaster risk reduction strategies and plans, across different timescales with targets, indicators, and timeframes, aimed at preventing the creation of risk, the reduction of existing risk, and the strengthening of economic, social, health, and environmental resilience. |
| 28(d) | Encourage the establishment of necessary mechanisms and incentives to ensure high levels of compliance with existing safety-enhancing provisions of sectoral laws and regulations, including those addressing land use and urban planning, building codes, environmental and resource management, and health and safety standards, and update them, where needed, to ensure an adequate focus on disaster risk management. | |
| 28(k) | Formulate public policies, where applicable, aimed at addressing the issues of prevention or relocation, where possible, of human settlements in disaster risk zones, subject to national law and legal systems. | |
| Investing in disaster risk reduction for resilience | 30(a) | Allocate the necessary resources, including finance and logistics, as appropriate, at all levels of administration for the development and the implementation of disaster risk reduction strategies policies, plans, laws, and regulations in all relevant sectors. |
| 30(c) | Strengthen, as appropriate, disaster resilient public and private investments particularly through: structural, nonstructural, and functional disaster risk prevention and reduction measures in critical facilities, in particular schools and hospitals, and physical infrastructures; building better from the start to withstand hazards through proper design and construction, including the use of the principles of universal design and the standardization of building materials; retrofitting and rebuilding; nurturing a culture of maintenance; and taking into account economic, social, structural, technological, and environmental impact assessments. | |
| 30(f) | Promote the mainstreaming of disaster risk assessments into land-use policy development and implementation, including urban planning, land degradation, informal and nonpermanent housing, and the use of guidelines and follow-up tools informed of anticipated demographic and environmental change. |
