“…This requires a harmonious action by disaster agencies to implement effective national and global disaster policy. The disaster policy frameworks of recent times include the SFDRR [25,59,81], Paris Agreement on climate change [82], Agenda 2030 for Sustainable Development [83], the ACP-EU NDRR program [84], Sierra Leone Disaster Management Policy [1], and the EU Adaptation Strategy [85], which have all highlighted the importance of adaptation and DRR and the co-benefits that may arise from the aligned DPI actions [86][87][88][89]. Legal and established guidelines certainly create an enabling environment for alliances between relevant policies and policy documentations as the first step of integrating sustainable DRR policy [90].…”
