The Hyogo Framework for Action 2005-2015 aims to build the resilience of nations and communities to natural hazards and disasters. The prioritised actions are related to several measures. Making disaster risk prevention a national and local commitment and a priority is an essential step for building resilient societies. It is also important to detect the risks and hazards that may occur in a specific area, and to enhance early warning to the population. A measure is to spread knowledge about hazards to civil societies, and to locate and detect vulnerable areas to reduce risks. Another measure is to prepare the societies for possible actions when a crisis occurs. This program was the predecessor of the Making Cities Resilient 2030 program which is reference framework in the field of city resilience.
