Impacts of COVID-19 are collected and analyzed through the data submitted to the Sendai Framework Monitor and will support the evidence-based DRR policy making in partnership with academia and the science and technology community. [...] Guidance and tools are developed and disseminated to better reflect biological hazards and risk into regional, national and local DRR strategies and strengthen systemic risk management, including in the achievement of Target (e). [...] While UN humanitarian agencies are focusing on response and crisis alleviation, UNDRR will support the UN system and Member States to better understand how risk works- especially how risk cascades with unexpected consequences and how to build capacities to manage this, and how to prepare for early and better recovery that prevents the emergence of new risk. [...] Governments must identify the most vulnerable in their countries and dedicate budgeted resources to prevent the spread of COVID 19 and support high-risk groups, including the elderly, women, day workers and the poor; persons living with disabilities; migrants and displaced populations; and slum dwellers and the homeless. [...] Developed countries with more resources available to respond to the outbreak need to attend first and foremost to the safety and well-being of their own citizens but must be international support to low- and middle-income countries that are struggling to cope with the outbreak.
