• Weak linkage of DRR, development scheme, and CCA
• Ineffective roles of the national platform
• Lack of a systematic and empowerment monitoring and evaluation mechanism
• No common language for DRR practitioners and concerned sectors
• Revisit and make appropriate change to the existing policy framework
• Develop a standard sets of DRR knowledge and information as a tool for DRR communication
• Strengthen close cooperation and engagement of the key sectors to effectively link DRR, development scheme and CCA
• Strengthen the roles and functions of the National Platform
Fulfilling Commitments from Thailand The new efforts for mainstreaming DRR
• The new national policy for DRM (2015)- From reactive to proactive with more focus on DRM
and BBB- DRR (HFA) focal point built-in in every sector- National DRR platform will be a key mechanism for
multi-sectoral engagement• Developing a standard sets of DRR knowledge
(as reference)- DRM terminology- DRR handbooks- DRM video animation
