´´ This policy lays down strategic priorities which are (i) identification and evaluation of disaster risks; (ii) strengthening disaster risk governance; (iii) investing in risk reduction activities to build resilience; and (iv) 'building better than before' in disaster preparedness development and recovery, rehabilitation and reconstruction for effective response.´´

´´ Disaster hazard and risk analysis will be conducted through integrated disaster maps, disaster risk assessments and specific disaster risk standards. Disaster risks will be considered at the spatial planning phase and practices will be strengthened. The investments for disaster risk reduction will be evaluated in a way that includes sustainable development goals. R&D activities for disaster risk reduction will be developed and disseminated. Public awareness will be raised on disaster risk reduction and socioeconomic measures will be taken.´´

´´ Disaster database and national integrated early warning systems will be established. The legal and institutional frameworks and mechanisms for disaster risk reduction will be strengthened. The sectors that create resilience to disasters will be identified, the economic effects of possible disasters will be analysed and the financial measures will be taken to reduce disaster risks and the financial burden of disasters.´´
