Mission accomplished #TUNISIADECLARATION should pass to action #DisasterRiskReduction is a development issue we therefore need to address it as a development approach and not humanitarian. #Prevention is the way forward.

Disaster trends are getting worse as #climatechange, inequality & unplanned urbanization put more people in the path of deadly risks. Innovative approaches to responding to & preventing disasters are needed in order for communities to adapt! #IDRR2018 #AFARP2018 #AFAR2018

Local humanitarian actors make a difference every day in their own communities. We need to ramp up investments for local actors so they can respond to crises quickly, provide assistance that is culturally appropriate and cost-effective. #SendaiFramework #AFARP2018 #AFAR2018

Communities are the first responders in any disaster. Without investing in them, resilience can never really be achieved. #ResilienceForAll #AFAR2018 #AFARP2018 #commisaid

During disasters, women and girls are often excluded from warning systems or prevented from taking part in preparedness activities. We need to promote gender equality and women’s leadership in disaster risk reduction. #ResilienceForAll #AFARP2018 #AFAR2018

Local actors such as Red Cross Red Crescent volunteers act as a bridge between policies and practical implementation on the ground. Investing in them is an efficient and cost-effective way to reduce the risk of disasters. #AFARP2018, #AFAR2018
