<p>The UK adopted the Sendai Framework in March 2015. The UK has a range of robust
mechanisms in place for dealing with disasters and reducing disaster risk. The National
Focal Point for Disaster Risk Reduction, the Civil Contingencies Secretariat in the
Cabinet Office, recently attended the European Forum for Disaster Risk Reduction,
the regional body responsible for tracking progress against the Sendai targets. Implementation
of the Sendai Framework is at an early stage, but work is ongoing within the UK to
further improve domestic disaster risk reduction, and sharing best practice and building
capability overseas – including through peer review, highlighted in the Sendai Framework
as a means to strengthen disaster risk governance. The UK volunteered to be the subject
of the first international peer review in 2012, and UK experts have subsequently taken
part in peer reviews in Bulgaria and Finland.</p>
