Vision
Safer, more resilient Pacific Island nations and communities, better prepared
for to cope with disasters of all types
Mission
Building capacity of Pacific island communities by accelerating the
implementation of disaster risk reduction and disaster management
policies, planning and programmes to address current and emerging
challenges through:
a) development and strengthening of disaster risk reduction and disaster
management, including mitigation, preparedness, response and relief/
recovery systems;
b) integration of disaster risk reduction and disaster management into
national sustainable development planning and decision-making
processes at all levels; and
c) strengthening partnerships between all stakeholders in disaster risk
reduction and disaster management.
THEMES

Decision-making Frameworks
2. Knowledge, Information, Public Awareness and Education
3. Analysis and Evaluation of Hazards, Vulnerabilities and
Elements at Risk
4. Planning for effective Preparedness, Response and
Recovery
5. Effective, Integrated and People-Focused Early Warning
Systems
6. Reducing Underlying Risk Factors
Expected Outcomes by 201
a) Disaster risk reduction and disaster management mainstreamed into national
policies, planning processes at all levels and across all sectors.
b) CROP agency partnerships and national government coordinated, harmonised
and strengthened to ensure country and outcome-focused delivery of services.
c) Better informed and more resilient communities
d) Improved knowledge of social, economic and environmental impacts of
disasters in Pacific island nations and communities.
e) Disaster risk reduction and disaster management training programmes
institutionalised
f) Accredited and recognised qualifications in disaster risk reduction and disaster
management
Expected Outcomes by 2015
G) Robust, effective national and regional monitoring and early warning systems
established and strengthened for all hazards incorporating traditional
knowledge and appropriate technology and tools.
H) Community, national and regional warning systems integrated into the global
network supporting early warning and vice-versa to improve safety and
security to disasters.
I) Emergency communication systems established and operating effectively;
J) Effective communication and awareness raising in place as part of these
community-focused early warning systems.
Implementation & Follow up
National
Successful implementation of this framework, is dependent
on:
a) national governments adapting and owning this Framework
through the mainstreaming of disaster risk reduction and
disaster management practices into policies and programmes,
and
b) an effective mechanism to coordinate, through a
participatory process, the development, implementation,
monitoring and reporting of a strategic national action plan
that reflects achievable short and medium-term priorities.
Implementation & Follow up
Regional
The SOPAC Secretariat, which has the mandate for the coordination of
regional disaster risk reduction and disaster management, will:
a) actively promote the Framework and seek the collaboration of key
CROP agencies and other regional partners in its implementation;
b) support member countries to develop and implement their strategic
national action plans;
d) coordinate the reporting on regional progress in implementing the
Framework;
e) advocate for resources to support the successful implementation of the
Framework, and
f) coordinate a process of review and reporting on the implementation of
the Framework.
