<title>ABSTRACT</title>
<p> Since the Hyogo Framework for Action (HFA) was adopted in 2005 at the United Nations
World Conference on Disaster Reduction held in Kobe, Japan, many global, regional,
national, and local efforts have addressed DRR more systematically. Each stakeholder in
different levels has important roles to play in implementing HFA. The UN International
Strategy for Disaster Reduction (UNISDR) has a key role of advocating andmonitoring HFA.
The regional organization such as theAssociation of SoutheastAsianNations (ASEAN)made
achievements in sharing knowledge, information, and good practices, developing common
frameworks and understanding in order to address the regional issues of DRR that cannot be
always effectively tackled at the national level. National governments should commit to the
development of national coordination mechanism and of policy/legislation, DRR baseline
assessment, review of national progress in achieving HFA, and integration of DRR with
climate change strategies. Local governments and Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) are
closest to communities and know the risks to disasters at the grassroots level. In order to
strengthen the entire DRR capacity and achieve HFA goals, it is important to scale-up the
current Community-Based Disaster Risk Reduction (CBDRR) approach and to speed up the
implementation of HFA at the local level. </p><p><italic>Keywords: </italic>Disaster Risk Reduction, Stakeholders, Hyogo Framework for Action, Asia.</p>
