The Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction (SFDRR) 2015-2030, the successor instrument to the Hyogo Framework for Action (HFA) 2005-2015: Building the Resilience of Nations and Communities to Disasters, was adopted at the Third UN World Conference on Disaster Risk Reduction in Sendai, Japan, on March 18, 2015. The SFDRR outlines seven clear targets and four priorities for action to prevent new and reduce existing disaster risks: (i) Understanding disaster risk; (ii) Strengthening disaster risk governance to manage disaster risk; (iii) Investing in disaster reduction for resilience and; (iv) Enhancing disaster preparedness for effective response, and to "Build Back Better" in recovery, rehabilitation and reconstruction. They aim to achieve the substantial reduction of disaster risk and losses in lives, livelihoods and health and in the economic, physical, social, cultural and environmental assets of persons, businesses, communities and countries over the next 15 years. The substantial reduction of disaster risk and losses in lives, livelihoods and health and in the economic, physical, social, cultural and environmental assets of persons, businesses, communities and countries.
The group of rounding table for DRR in Miyagi was started in April 2015 just after the UN world conference for DRR to enhance the collaboration among, members of academia, government, private, citizen and mass media and to share the information of each activity once a month. International Research Institute of Disaster Science (IRIDeS), Tohoku University and the office of Sendai city jointly organize the series of lectures in 2016 to understand what is the SFDRR and how we can contribute for it for students, people including workshop for future activities. And statistics. The Global Centre for Disaster Statistic (GGCDS) was established in April 2015. The GCDS creates a unique collaboration among United Nations organizations and other disaster risk reduction (DRR) related institutions, centering on collaboration with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). The purpose of the Centre is to support countries to manage disaster risks in their country and contribute to international process on DRR. The GCDS has developed a database on statistical data concerning the Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami, hoping that the lessons from the catastrophic disaster will be spread across the world.
