There should be regional support for disease surveillance and early warning
system to ensure effective response to natural disasters, including
strengthening health surveillance and readiness systems. Moreover,
reconstruction programs should look at natural hazard vulnerability and risk
assessments; risk management planning; land use and river basin development
planning; improved construction technologies for disaster resistant housing;
critical watershed protection; flood control; landslide stabilization; improving
resiliency of transport systems to natural disasters; public awareness
campaigns; and development of capacity (at regional, national, and local levels)
for disaster mitigation, preparedness and response. |
