International Decade for Natural Disaster Reduction (IDNDR) 2
International Decade for Natural Disaster Reduction (IDNDR) 2 : A decade declared by the United Nations, aiming to reduce loss of life, property damage and economic and social disruption from natural disasters, especially in developing countries, through concerted international action. Many countries have established funded programmes to support the Decade. The Australian IDNDR goals are: (1) to improve community awareness of risk, preparedness and response; (2) to develop and implement programs to assist community understanding of vulnerability to hazards; (3) to foster partnerships within communities to pursue the IDNDR vision; (4) to ensure IDNDR activities are adequately resourced; and, (5) to develop a framework that will generate quality programs based on IDNDR principles able to continue beyond the year 2000.
