Definition:

This indicator captures the percentage of local governments that adopt and implement local disaster risk reduction strategies in line with national strategies.

Concepts:

Disasters: A serious disruption of the functioning of a community or a society at any scale due to hazardous events interacting with conditions of exposure, vulnerability and capacity, leading to one or more of the following: human, material, economic and environmental losses and impacts (UNDRR, 2017, https://www.preventionweb.net/terminology/disaster).

Disaster risk reduction strategies: define goals and objectives across different timescales and with concrete targets, indicators and time frames. In line with the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030, the strategies should be aimed at preventing the creation of disaster risk, the reduction of existing risk and the strengthening of economic, social, health and environmental resilience.

Local Government: Form of sub-national public administration with responsibility for disaster risk reduction – to be determined by countries for the purposes of monitoring Sendai Framework Target E.

Notes:

[a] An open-ended intergovernmental expert working group on indicators and terminology relating to disaster risk reduction established by the General Assembly (resolution 69/284) is developing a set of indicators to measure global progress in the implementation of the Sendai Framework. These indicators will eventually reflect the agreements on the Sendai Framework indicators.

Detailed definitions, concepts, including composition and calculation for each of the data series, can be found in the SFM Technical Guidance (see below the Reference section)
