Solomon Islands Takes Step Towards Effective Disaster Risk Management with Compliance and Risk Frameworks

The Solomon Islands Government has taken a significant step towards strengthening its disaster risk management framework, with the establishment of institutional arrangements to prepare for, manage and recover from disaster events. This plan addresses disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation at national, provincial and local levels.

Policy-Driven Approach


According to the plan, disaster risk management requires a policy-driven approach to:

  • Establish clear obligations and roles
  • Set up necessary arrangements and accountabilities
  • Provide for national planning

National Disaster Council’s Role


The National Disaster Council, established under Section 3 of the National Disaster Council Act, has prepared and endorsed the plan, which was subsequently approved by the Cabinet of the Solomon Islands Government.

Enhanced Response to Natural Disasters


This move is seen as a crucial step towards enhancing the country’s ability to respond effectively to natural disasters, including those exacerbated by climate change. With the framework in place, the government can:

  • Better coordinate its efforts
  • Ensure that all stakeholders are working together to mitigate risks and reduce the impact of disasters on communities

By implementing this plan, the Solomon Islands Government is taking a proactive approach to disaster risk management, ultimately aiming to protect its citizens and communities from the devastating effects of natural disasters.
