The development of the County Disaster Risk Management Policy is a major step towards achieving sustainable development in line with county, national and international frameworks.

This policy calls upon all sectors and stakeholders to pursue proactive, integrated, innovative and realistic strategies with strong partnerships and networks for sustainable development. The policy guides all government, non-governmental organisations, private sector, media and development partners to effectively integrate disaster risk management programmes in all sectors. The policy proposes establishment of comprehensive institutional and legal framework, political commitment as well as provision of adequate resources for Disaster Risk Management.
