The UNDP, and the wider UN system, is supporting governments as they place greater emphasis on disaster-risk reduction, including preparedness, by strengthening their institutional capacity to plan and act when needed. In addition to assisting with emergency relief, it is crucial that the international community help to introduce basic procedures for responding long before disaster strikes.
联合国发展计划署以及整个联合国体系都支持政府更加强调通过强化计划和按需行动的机构能力以降低灾难风险的措施（包括灾难预防）。除了支持救灾，关键之处在于国际社会帮助引入在灾难到来之前就开始响应的基本程序。
