National Planning for Disaster Management
Preamble: Disaster risk reduction (DRR) and emergency management is integrated in the disaster management (DM) policies of the Government of Bangladesh (GoB), exemplified in its vision and the mission of the Ministry of Disaster Management and Relief (MoDMR), which is translated in this National Plan for Disaster Management (NPDM 2016-2020). The plan has three core goals of saving lives, protecting investments and effective recovery. It builds on GoB’s past success in disaster management and international DRR frameworks, and adopts a phase-wise approach with 34 core targets to be implemented in partnership with relevant stakeholders in the context of rapid change in Bangladesh.
