Strategic Support to "Operationalize the Road Map Towards Safer Sri Lanka" |

Road Map for Disaster Risk Management-Towards a Safer Sri Lanka” was formulated in year 2005 as the vision document for the Sri Lankan disaster management sector. The Disaster Management Centre (DMC) was entrusted with the responsibility to operationalize the Road Map. While some sections of the Road Map have been implemented with significant success, other areas are progressing at sub-optimal levels. This project aims to assist the DMC and other relevant stakeholders to implement the Road Map proposals through building their capacity and creating an enabling environment.
