Abstract
Ten years from the devastating tsunami of December 26, 2004, have accumulated a wealth of experiences in different fields. The disaster risk reduction subject has seen a big shift in institutionalizing the efforts through formulation of policy and legislation in different countries. The beginning of the implementation of Hyogo Framework for Action (HFA) from the following year (2005–2015) has provided a framework to implement risk reduction in a holistic way. Some of the key lessons and progress at the regional level include: (1) Legal provision and institutionalization of risk reduction, (2) Enhance community based risk reduction measures, (3) Enhance role of civil society organizations (CSO), (4) Linking land use changes and risk reduction, (5) Focusing on urban risk reduction, (6) Securing vital infrastructures like schools, hospitals, (7) Linking disaster risk reduction (DRR) and climate change adaptation (CCA), (8) Linking technology to people, (9) Promoting higher education in disaster risk reduction, and (10) Enhancing corporate sector role in disaster risk reduction.
