Yokohama Strategy and Plan of Action for a Safer World (Yokohama Strategy) :
The Yokohama Strategy and Plan of Action for a Safer World (Yokohama strategy), conceived at the World Conference on Natural Disaster Reduction in Yokohama in 1994, stressed that every country had the sovereign and primary responsibility to protect its people, infrastructure and national, social or economic assets from the impact of natural disasters. The importance given to socio-economic vulnerability in disaster risk analysis underlined the crucial role of human actions in reducing the vulnerability of societies to natural hazards and related technological and environmental disasters.
