National Disaster Risk Management Plan, 2015 (Thailand)

The 2015 formulation of the National Disaster Risk Management Plan identifies three disaster risk management targets, namely:

• Ensure overall readiness of the national disaster risk management system to deal with potential disaster incidents through integrated and coordinated collaboration with stakeholders across multiple sectors and countries
• Cultivate a lifelong learning culture amongst, and boost the natural disaster immunity of, all sectors of society in Thailand to gain a better grasp of disaster risk management
• Increase public safety awareness by highlighting the body of knowledge, awareness, and culture of safety as well as develop local and community capacity gearing towards building community resilience to disasters

Further, the Master Plan sets out four focus areas for the national disaster management policy framework:

1. Improving and promoting disaster risk reduction by boosting the efficiency of disaster prevention, preparedness, and reducing disaster impacts through creating safe communities and promoting community and local involvement in improving disaster management practices
2. Synergizing multisectoral partnerships’ efforts to develop and enhance the capacities necessary for more effective, efficient and coherent emergency management
3. Developing disaster recovery system that ably handles the demand for recovery assistance of disaster victims in a timely and impartial manner and the needs for rapid rehabilitation and reconstruction of disaster devastated areas to previous state or "building back better and safer"
4. Developing and promoting the standards on international cooperation for disaster risk reduction between and among partnerships and networks at both national and international levels to be more efficient and effective
