Namibia: National disaster risk management plan 2011

The National Disaster Risk Management Plan (NDRMP) aims to provide guidance and strengthen national capacity for disaster risk management and to provide a framework for sectoral and regional disaster risk management in Namibia. The scope of the NDRMP is disaster risk management throughout all its phases; prevention, preparedness, response, and recovery for all hazards.

The NDRMP is intended primarily for disaster managers at national, regional and local levels, including non-state actors such as civil society organizations, development partners, private sector and parastatals, and other actors involved in disaster risk management in Namibia.

The plan has two (2) sections: Part I is made up of the national disaster risk management plan that provides an all hazard framework for disaster risk management planning in Namibia. Part II is the Emergency Management Operational Procedures that guide stakeholders on emergency response.
