The objective of the observance is to raise awareness how people are taking action to reduce their risk to disasters. In 2011, the observance takes place with the framework of the “Step Up for Disaster Risk Reduction” campaign, and its theme is “Making Children and Young People Partners for Disaster Risk Reduction.”
The purpose of the radio program being put together by the agencies is to remind people that natural disaster events are almost always destructive that involves loss of lives and properties.
The program also included the 1992 State Disaster Preparedness & Response Plan, which had been in use for a period of time before it recently updated into a draft Emergency and Disaster Operation Plan.
