Proportion of local governments that adopt and implement local disaster risk reduction strategies in line with national disaster risk reduction strategies
As a city state, Singapore's government carries out both national and local functions.
Singapore is not prone to natural disasters and therefore does not systematically follow the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030. Nevertheless, in areas covered by the Sendai Framework, we have invested in and implemented strategies such as fire safety regulations, public warning systems, community engagement and the use of technology to prevent disasters and risks and improve emergency response.
