Abstract	There is widespread support in international policy frameworks for disaster risk management (DRM) towards the notion that the responsibility for preventing and reducing hazard exposure and vulnerability to disaster, increasing preparedness for response and recovery, and thus strengthening disaster resilience, cannot be the sole responsibility of central government agencies but needs to be shared with local stakeholders, and in particular local governments, civil society and communities themselves. The Sendai Framework adopts as a guiding principle that “while the enabling, guiding and coordinating role of national and federal State Governments remain essential, it is necessary to empower local authorities and local communities to reduce disaster risk, including through resources, incentives and decision-making responsibilities, as appropriate” and establishes the increase of local disaster risk reduction strategies by 2020 as a global target. 2
