The projects that have gone through Steps 3, 4, and/or 5 must have a Disaster Risk Management Plan (DRMP).

Even for projects that do need to move to Step 5, sometimes the results of Steps 3 and 4 may already provide some risk mitigation measures that should be included in a DRMP, which can be updated later with the results of Step 5 and final design considerations. 

The DRMP should include a combination of structural and non-structural measures, as well as relevant recommendations to address social and environmental issues related to Disaster and Climate Change Risk (DCCR). 

Instructions for preparing the DRMP, detailing what to include at each stage, are available in the Methodology under Steps 3 to 5.

Refer to this Annex of the Methodology to develop a comprehensive DRMP, featuring targeted mitigation measures tailored to specific interventions and natural hazard types.

 

Mitigation options

 

Refer to the following guidelines for structuring the DRMP's table of contents and using a template to outline identified measures.
