What does ADB's disaster resilience framework include?

ADB's disaster resilience framework is anchored in a comprehensive approach that emphasizes the importance of risk assessment, risk financing, and recovery planning. This framework aims to enhance the overall resilience of countries and communities against disasters.

Risk assessment involves identifying and evaluating potential hazards, vulnerabilities, and risks faced by a community or region. This process is essential for understanding the specific challenges and areas that require attention to reduce potential impacts from disasters.

Risk financing refers to the ways in which funds can be accessed before, during, and after a disaster to ensure timely responses and recovery efforts. This may involve establishing financial instruments or mechanisms that provide financial support for risk mitigation, response, and long-term recovery.

Recovery planning is crucial as it outlines strategies and actions that will help communities bounce back after a disaster. This involves not only rebuilding infrastructure but also ensuring that the recovery process enhances future resilience.

In contrast, other options do not capture the holistic and integrated approach of ADB's framework. Daily monitoring and evaluation, while important for ongoing projects, do not encompass the full scope of disaster resilience. Funding new technological innovations is valuable but does not directly address the foundational elements of disaster risk management. Training first responders is vital for immediate response but is only one aspect of a broader disaster resilience strategy that includes
