Public Health England and the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030: A review

The aim of this review is to assess Public Health England’s (PHE) activities and contribution to England’s performance against the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction, providing an overview of progress to date.

The Sendai Framework fits with a number of PHE’s objectives both through its annual business plan and its wider strategic plan until 2020. This review has identified that as part of its core business, PHE undertakes a wide range of activities which are already consistent with the Sendai Framework priorities. It also indicates that PHE conducts several projects which go beyond core business and are aligned with the Framework. Given the depth and range of information collected, it is intended that more complete and detailed findings of the review will be made available through an interactive online tool to allow easier usability and updating over the next year.
