This document presents Jamaica’s Comprehensive Disaster Risk Management (CDRM) Policy 2020 – 2040. It is the country’s first long-term national disaster risk management policy and is consistent with national, regional and global commitments. The CDRM Policy is grounded in the Sendai Framework and guided by the principles and priorities established in the Enhanced Comprehensive Disaster Management Strategy and Programming Framework 2014 to 2024 promulgated by the Caribbean Disaster Emergency Management Agency.

It seeks to ensure that by 2040, Jamaica has strengthened its social and economic resilience, significantly reducing and in some cases eliminating the negative effects of national disasters including those induced by natural hazards, climate change, biological/health hazards (e.g. disease outbreaks) and man-made hazards.
