a. Strengthening overall risk assessment at the regional and district levels, by carrying out hazard analysis of cyclones, droughts, and inundation and wind; and strengthening the analysis on losses, damages, vulnerability and risks and compiling a national risk atlas.

b. Risk mitigation by reviewing existing national construction codes and updating them with cyclone-proof standards for major sectors and areas at risk.

c. Introducing principles of disaster risk financing management in the national budget.

d. Strengthen Madagascar’s emergency preparedness, through development of a rapid information system and updated National Plan for Disaster and Risk Management.
