In effect an updating of the Yokohama Strategy [1994], the conference culminated in the signing by 168 governments of a plan of action to reduce the impact of natural hazards on populations. Since its adoption the Hyogo Framework for Action 2005-2015: Building the resilience of Nations and Communities to Disasters, has led to many countries revising their policies to put disaster risk reduction at the top of their political and development agendas. The Hyogo Framework includes in section B (Priorities for action), section (4) on reducing underlying risk factors, which states: (i) Environmental and natural resource management (b) Implement integrated environmental and natural resource management approaches that incorporate disaster risk reduction, including structural and nonstructural measures, such as integrated flood management and appropriate management of fragile ecosystems.
