Responding to disasters efficiently is an important aspect of mitigating their effects. This implies setting up emergency management and planning for the period after the emergency for the longer term needs regarding reconstruction and rehabilitation.
UNESCO’s contribution to the overall United Nations system’s response to disaster situations has considerably increased over the past few years. The Organization advocates the integration of risk reduction in national reconstruction efforts and, more generally, calls for policy advice and capacity building to improve prevention measures as part of the reconstruction agenda.
